Clinical classification of ischemic strokeTo improve the quality and visibility level of medical journals by exchanging information and experience about editing and publishing of medical journals and by establishing rules ...
We included 418 patients who had had a stroke 6 months earlier. We studied the associations between the SA-SIP30 and SIP136 scores versus other frequently used outcome measures from the International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities, and Handicaps (ICIDH) (Barthel Index, Rankin Scale) ...
Design, Setting, and Patients Two existing classification schemes were combined into a new stroke-risk scheme, the CHADS2 index, and all 3 classification schemes were validated. The CHADS2 was formed by assigning 1 point each for the presence of congestive heart failure, hypertension, age 75 yea...
clinical features and then after reviewing the results of diagnostic tests.The TOAST classification denotes five subtypes of ischemic stroke: 1) large-artery atherosclerosis, 2) cardioembolism, 3) small-vessel occlusion, 4) stroke of other determined etiology, and 5) stroke of undetermined etiology....

The validity of a clinical classificationsystem was assessed for subtypes of cerebralinfarction for use in clinical trials ofputative stroke therapies and clinicaldecision making in a population basedstroke register (n = 536) compiled inPerth, Western Australia in 1989-90.

They were both able to reach a specific etiologic diagnosis in 11 patients, whereas the cause of stroke was not determined in nine.The TOAST stroke subtype classification system is easy to use and has good interobserver agreement. This system should allow investigators to report responses to ...
Cerebrovascular disease is the second commonest cause of death, and over a third of stroke deaths occur in developing countries. To fulfil the current gap on data, this systematic review is focused on the frequency of stroke, risk factors, stroke types and mortality in Iran. Methods Thirteen ...
Conclusions Our novel, simple stroke risk stratification schema, based on a risk factor approach, provides some improvement in predictive value for TE over the CHADS2 schema, with low event rates in low-risk subjects and the classification of only a small proportion of subjects into the ...
Duplex ultrasound and transesophageal or transthoracic echocardiography (TEE/TTE) were performed when necessary for further etiological classification (Trials of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment [TOAST] classification) [31]. Image was obtained within 24 h of PSSi relevant stroke onset. Infarct size ...
