Reperfusion therapy for treatment of acute ischemic stroke is aimed at restoring blood flow to an infarcting area of the brain. The goal of this therapy is to minimize ischemic damage and thus maximize physical and functional outcome from ischemic stroke. Currently available reperfusion therapies are...
In previous studies, the inter- observer agreement on ischemic stroke subtypes classified by the TOAST system was moderate (0.4 < k < 0.6).43 The com puter-based algorithm increased the inter-observer agreement significantly (0.8 < k < 1).44 A retrospective medical and ...
Welcome to Stroke Management, your resource for understanding, diagnosing, and effectively managing strokes. Access diagnosis and treatment algorithms, based o…
Severity of incident ischemic stroke is treated as a time-varying exposure. Consequently, participants do not enter the risk set for ≤10 or ≥11 until the age of incident stroke. Differences in the rates of dementia were statistically significant when comparing participants with stroke to those ...
Outcomes of endovascular thrombectomy vs medical management alone in patients with large ischemic cores: a secondary analysis of the Optimizing Patient’s Selection for Endovascular Treatment in Acute Ischemic Stroke (SELECT) study. JAMA Neurol. 2019;76(10):1147-1156. doi:10.1001/jamaneurol....
The distribution of some immune cell subsets with low abundance expression in stroke has not been fully revealed, due to the limitations of CIBERSORT algorithm. Proportions of immune cells from two comparison group samples showed individual differences, and the cluster analysis of infiltrated immune ...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In order to improve inter-rater reliability and minimize diagnosis of undetermined etiology for stroke subtype classification, using a stroke registry, we developed and implemented a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based algorithm for acute ischemic stroke subtype classification (...
Further validations for stroke subgroups, may also be warranted to confirm the results. In addition, the ability of the DLC-Kuiper UB model to incorporate more clinical variables to obtain better performance may not indicate a better AI-based DLC-Kuiper UB algorithm at the algorithmic level. ...
Dispatchers used the routine acute stroke identification algorithm that leads to a code stroke, and if the emergency call was made within 4 hours of symptom onset or if onset was unknown, dispatchers were to send an MSU, if available. The use of the MSU dispatch code was made irrespective...
