60 However, it cannot necessarily be assumed that the proportion of strokes that are causally related to PFO is maintained at older ages, as the prevalence of other causes of stroke will tend to increase with age. Nevertheless, we also found that the relative risk of ischemic stroke in ...
This high burden is also explained by the poor prognosis and quality of life after first-ever intracerebral haemorrhage and total anterior circulation infarctions (or severe ischaemic strokes). Although investigated in an older, poorer, more rural population and separated by more than 2000 km, it ...
CKD influences stroke outcomes through systemic and local pathophysiological changes, necessitating tailored therapeutic approaches. Reperfusion therapies are effective in CKD patients but require careful monitoring of renal function to mitigate risks, such as contrast-induced nephropathy and thrombolytic complicat...
OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to design a multifactorial scoring scale based on a combination of patient-specific factors in order to optimize the assessment of prognosis in patients after hemicraniectomy malignant strokes. METHODS: In this prospective observational study with a one-year follow-up,...
The final diagnosis was revised in 308 patients (30.0%) after undergoing brain MRI. There were 7 (0.7%) recurrent strokes at 1 year. A DWI-positive brain MRI scan was associated with an increased risk of recurrent stroke (relative risk, 6.4; 95% CI, 2.4-16.8) at 1 year. Absence of ...
This observation persisted in Model I, even after adjusting for race, gender, and age. Model II, which further adjusted for covariates such as gender, age, race, MAP, respiration rate, heart rate, temperature, SpO2, SIRS, APSIII, liver disease, malignancy, renal failure, hyperlipidemia, ...
Objective: The Commission on Epidemiology and Prognosis of the ILAE1 recommends that multiple seizures within 24 hours be regarded as a single event. The rationale for this has not been systematically studied. Camfield2 found that a child presenting with two or more unprovoked seizures on the sa...
However, 90% of all recurrent strokes occur after a transient ischaemic attack or minor stroke34 and the previous trials (SAMMPRIS and VISSIT)1, 2 of stenting for intracranial stenosis also predominantly recruited patients with transient ischaemic attack or minor stroke. Second, although our patients...
[205]. Interestingly, the Mediterranean diet can also decrease Hcy levels. A 19% decline in Hcy level after 2 weeks happened after administration of a fiber-rich diet [206]. Dietary intake of vitamin B12 and folate is essential for Hcy metabolism. Therefore, deficiency in these vitamins can ...
1912 ischemic strokes were recorded, due to cardioembolism (36%), large-artery atherosclerosis (9%), small-artery occlusion (9%), other determined causes (6%), or undetermined causes (39%). The median NIHSS score after cardioembolic stroke (6, IQR: 3-13) was twice that after small-artery...
