Early complications after ischemic stroke include increased intracranial pressure and fever. Brain stem infarction and large-artery atherosclerosis predict recurrent ischemic stroke.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Clinical Medicine
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide.
  • Understanding early complications is crucial for improving patient outcomes and guiding clinical practice.
  • Data on the incidence and predictors of early complications in large cohorts are needed for clinical trials and quality standards.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the typical early-onset complications following ischemic stroke.
  • To identify predictors for early recurrent ischemic stroke.
  • To provide clinical data for future randomized trials and quality standards.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective documentation of 3,866 patients with acute ischemic stroke.
  • Data collected from 14 Neurology Departments with acute stroke units.

  • Multivariate regression analysis to identify independent predictors.

    • Main Results:

    • Most frequent neurological complications within the first week: increased intracranial pressure (7.6%) and recurrent cerebral ischemia (5.1%).
    • Most frequent medical complications: fever >38°C (13.2%), severe arterial hypertension (7.5%), and pneumonia (7.4%).
    • Brain stem infarction and large-artery atherosclerosis were independent predictors for early recurrent ischemic stroke.

    Conclusions:

    • This study provides representative data on the onset and severity of early complications after acute ischemic stroke.
    • Identified key neurological and medical complications and their frequencies.
    • Established predictors for early recurrent ischemic stroke, aiding in risk stratification and management.
