Prognosis
Prognosis of stroke depends on factors such as:[2]
- Age of the patient
- Location of infarct
- Size and volume of infarct
- Extent of neurological damage
- Time to seek medical help
- Comorbid conditions such as
- Intevention such as thrombolysis
- Quality of rehabilition care
- Complications
Good Prognostic factors
Bad prognostic factors
Infarct size and location
- Large size of infarct
- Severe neurological deficit
- Large volume of infarct (supratentorial infarcts)
- Infarct location and vascular supply
- Cervical internal carotid artery
- Anterior choroidal artery
- Insular branch of middle cerebral artery
- Basilar artery
- Large intracranial artery
Presence of clinical complications
- Cerebral edema
- Fever
- Hyperglycemia >200mg/dl
Presence of other co morbid conditions
- Anemia
- Myocardial infarction
- Diabetes mellitus
- Atrial fibrillation
- Malnutrition
