ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to determine which variables should be the predictors for clinical outcome at discharge and sixth month after acute ischemic stroke.Two hundred sixty-six consecutive patients, each with an cerebrovascular disease, were evaluated within 24 h symptom onset. We divided our patients into two groups; 1 - Independent (Rankin scale RS < or = 2) and, 2 Dependent (RS>3) death. Baseline characteristics, variables, risk factors, infarct subtypes radiologic parameters analyzed.Canadian Neurological Scale (CNS) on admission <6.5 [odds ratio (OR) 22] posterior circulation infarction (OR 4.2) associated a poor from hospital whereas only CNS score 14) 6 months.Severity neurologic deficit is most important indicator in stroke both short-term month, also predicts discharge.
