Post-stroke complications like infections and falls are frequent. Pain and psychological symptoms are also common and potentially preventable, requiring further attention.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Gerontology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability.
  • Understanding post-stroke complications is crucial for patient recovery and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the frequency of symptomatic complications up to 30 months post-stroke.
  • To identify common complications using prespecified definitions.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective, multicenter cohort study.
  • Recruited 311 consecutive stroke patients.
  • Weekly follow-up during hospitalization and at 6, 18, and 30 months post-stroke.

Main Results:

  • 85% of stroke patients experienced complications during hospitalization.

  • Common complications included infections (UTI, chest), mobility issues (falls, pressure sores), pain, and psychological symptoms (confusion, depression, anxiety).
  • Infections and falls remained common during follow-up, with frequency related to patient dependency and time post-stroke.

    • Conclusions:

    • Post-stroke complications, especially infections and falls, are highly prevalent.
    • Pain and cognitive/affective symptoms are significant, potentially underestimated, and preventable complications.
