Background and Purpose- A large infarct expanding cerebral edema (CED) due to a middle artery occlusion confers 70% mortality unless treated surgically. Reperfusion may cause blood-brain barrier disruption risk for secondary parenchymal hemorrhage (PH). We aimed investigate the effect of recanalization on development early CED PH after therapy. Methods- From SITS-International Stroke Treatment Registry, we selected patients with signs at baseline (either Hyperdense Artery Sign or computed...
<h3>Background and Objectives</h3> Declines in stroke admission, IV thrombolysis (IVT), mechanical thrombectomy volumes were reported during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic. There is a paucity data on longer-term effect pandemic over course year through second We sought to measure admissions, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), IVT, 1-year period at onset (March 1, 2020, February 28, 2021) compared with immediately preceding 2019, 29, 2020). <h3>Methods</h3> conducted longitudinal...
Abstract Background and Purpose Mechanical thrombectomy ( MT ) is indicated for the treatment of large vessel occlusion LVO stroke. should be provided as quickly possible; therefore, a test identifying suspected in prehospitalization stage needed to ensure direct transport comprehensive stroke center CSC ). We assume that patients with clinically severe hemiparesis have high probability modified FAST into PLUS test: The first part second evaluates presence arm or leg motor deficit. This...
Background The benefit of intravenous thrombolysis is time dependent. It remains unclear, however, whether dramatic shortening door-to-needle (DNT) among different types hospitals nationwide does not compromise safety and still improves outcome. Methods Results Multifaceted intervention to shorten DNT was introduced at a national level, prospectively collected data from registry between 2004 2019 were analyzed. Generalized estimating equation used identify the association outcomes...
The safety and efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) are well established in anterior circulation stroke (ACS) but much less clear for posterior (PCS). aim this study was to evaluate the occurrence parenchymal hematoma (PH) 3-month clinical outcomes after IVT PCS ACS. In an observational, cohort multicenter study, we analyzed data from ischemic patients treated with prospectively collected SITS (Safe Implementation Treatments Stroke) registry Czech Republic between 2004 2018. Out 10,211...
Decompressive surgery within 48 hours in patients younger than 60 years of age reduces mortality and morbidity from malignant supratentorial infarction. The goal this study was to characterize the utilization decompressive Czech Republic 2006.This nationwide undertaken September December 2007 using a questionnaire sent all neurosurgery departments Republic. Diagnosis brain infarction based on discharge codes. Patient data were retrieved hospital charts. Favorable outcome defined as modified...
Aim: Pre-hospital triage by paramedics could determine which patients qualify for direct transport to comprehensive stroke centres mechanical thrombectomy. For be successful, have able identify major neurological impairments. The aim of our study was inter-rater reliability between and neurologists in identifying severe hemiparesis acute pat lents. Methods: In this prospective, multicentre study, 225 from Emergency Medical Services were taught via e-learning distinguish mild hemiparesis....
