OBJECTIVE
To develop a prediction model for 1-year mortality in patients with acute ischemic stroke, with the model to be at least as useful and accurate as other previously developed prediction models.
METHODS
Retrospective cohort study.
METHODS
Neurology department at an Australian tertiary
OBJECTIVE
A good mastery of stroke-related knowledge can be of great benefit in developing healthy behaviours. This study surveyed the knowledge about stroke and influencing factors among patients with acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) at discharge in a Chinese province.
METHODS
A cross-section study was
Early identification of stroke should begin in the prehospital phase because the benefits of thrombolysis and clot extraction are time dependent. This study aims to identify patient characteristics that affect prehospital identification of stroke by Long Island college hospital (LICH) emergency
BACKGROUND
Treatment at stroke units is superior to treatment at other types of wards. The objective of the present study is to determine the effect size of stroke unit care in subgroups of patients with stroke. This information might be useful in a formal priority setting.
METHODS
All acute strokes
Assessment of the severity of unconsciousness in patients with impaired consciousness, prediction of mortality and prognosis are currently the most studied subjects in intensive care. The aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness of the Full Outline of UnResponsiveness (FOUR) score in
OBJECTIVE
We report on trends in poststroke survival, both in the early period after stroke and over the long term. We examine these trends by stroke subtype.
METHODS
The Minnesota Stroke Survey is a study of all hospitalized patients with acute stroke aged 30 to 74 years in the Minneapolis-St Paul
The recognition and treatment of stroke in children is challenging as there are fundamental developmental differences in children compared to adults. A young boy presented with sudden weakness of right side of body followed by unconsciousness and convulsion that was not preceded by any history of
Association between hyperhomocysteinemia and stroke has been well documented in the literature. However, there are limited reports revealing stroke events in the pediatric population affected by hyperhomocysteinemia. Herein, we present a case which shows genetically inherited hyperhomocysteinemia
BACKGROUND
Information on the leading causes of mortality will continue to rely on verbal autopsy (VA) in developing countries. The accuracy of VA methods in correctly ascertaining the cause for each individual death is crucial in order to have confidence in the data collected through the procedure.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the clinical features of patients with posterior circulation ischemic stroke.
METHODS
216 patients with posterior circulation ischemic stroke admitted in our department during 2004-2006 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients were undertaken MRI on admission and responsible
UNASSIGNED
Given the high post-stroke mortality and disability and paucity of data on the quality of stroke care in Sub-Saharan Africa, we sought to characterize the implementation of stroke-focused treatments and 90-day outcomes of neuroimaging-confirmed stroke patients at the largest referral
This study was conducted to find out the possible influencing factors on stroke in two sexes. It was a descriptive type of cross sectional study, conducted on 177 stroke patients admitted in Mymensingh medical college hospital from February 2009 to March 2010. Patients were selected according to WHO
Though pulmonary embolism (PE) has been thought to be rare, the incidence seems to be increasing recently. During the past 10 years the authors have encountered 5 cases of PE among stroke patients. There were 2 males and 3 females, aged 51 to 71 years (mean age; 63 years). The mean time between
A case is presented of a 'top of the basilar' stroke followed by a well circumscribed midbrain lesion mainly involving the parenchyma around both third nerve nuclear complexes. Prominent clinical features were: third nerve paralysis including huge pupils unresponsive to light, transient
