We used carotid ultrasounds to detect plaque at baseline and follow‐up in 2006 to 2009 (median follow‐up=5.5 had incident plaque (109/1104 plaque‐free participants with baseline and follow‐up ultrasounds), 11.0% We evaluated SHFS participants, who were 15 to 39 years old at the baseline examination in 2001 to 2003 (n=1440).

We then applied Bayes theorem (method of Alsheikh-Ali et al, Stroke 2009) to determine the probability that nonstenotic carotid plaque is causal or incidental.Results:The systematic search identified 6 cohort studies enrolling 1551 patients (761 CS, 790 KS). Methods of vessel imaging were carotid duplex ultrasound, CTA, and MRA.
