Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Brain edema is common after acute ischemic stroke, affecting nearly 8% of patients. While it does not impact survival, it significantly worsens neurological deficits.

Area of Science:

Neurology
Neurosurgery
Radiology

Background:

Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide.
Brain edema is a potential complication of ischemic stroke, but its incidence and impact require further clarification.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine the incidence of brain edema following ischemic stroke.
To assess the impact of brain edema on patient outcomes during the acute phase of ischemic stroke.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 114 patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke.
Computed tomography (CT) scans used to verify ischemic stroke and brain edema.
National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) assessed stroke severity.
Laboratory findings and clinical examinations monitored complications.

Main Results:

Brain edema occurred in 7.9% of patients.
Pneumonia was the most frequent complication (12.3%).
Higher incidence of brain edema observed in women, hypertensive patients, those with elevated creatinine, and diabetics.
No significant correlation found between brain edema and survival.
Patients with brain edema exhibited significantly higher neurological deficits at admission and discharge.

Conclusions:

Cerebral edema is a common occurrence after acute ischemic stroke.
Brain edema does not influence survival in the acute phase.
Brain edema significantly impacts the severity of neurological deficits in acute ischemic stroke patients.
