Abstract
Aim: To determine indicators of short-term outcome of different stroke subtypes.
Methods: An observational prospective cohort study. Group of 130 patients was studied. Classification used: Hemorrhagic stroke (Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)); Ischemic stroke: TOAST (Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment) classification. Degree of disability was assessed using the Modified Rankin Scale.
Results: The most common stroke complication was urinary infection. Patients with small vessel stroke had the lowest rate of complications, functional deficit and case-fatality and patients with ICH had the highest rate of these indicators.
Conclusion: Results confirm variations of outcome in different stroke subtypes
