This topic will review the factors that affect stroke prognosis, with a focus on the acute phase of ischemic stroke. The major medical and neurologic complications of acute stroke are discussed elsewhere.
At 5 years, death or physical dependency occurred for 79% of people who had a hemorrhagic stroke and 70.6% of people who had an ischemic stroke. Statistics also show that age is a significant factor in long-term survival after a stroke.
A large 2019 Swedish study including people who survived at least 30 days after a first stroke found a 5-year survival rate of 49.4% for those who had an ischemic stroke.
What is the ischemic stroke survival rate? It’s hard for experts to estimate a survival rate that applies to everyone. Ischemic strokes can be fatal and can cause permanent disabilities. But there’s no one set recovery timeline or outlook that’s accurate for everyone.
Longitudinal long-term prognostic data after stroke based on large cohorts are sparse. We report recent survival and functional outcome data on ischemic stroke (IS) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) for up to 5 years poststroke from the Swedish Stroke Register (Riksstroke).
Ischemic stroke. An ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot, known as a thrombus, blocks or plugs an artery leading to the brain. A blood clot often forms in arteries damaged by a buildup of plaques, known as atherosclerosis. It can occur in the carotid artery of the neck as well as other arteries.
Assess acute ischemic stroke using the current NIH stroke scale to measure the severity of ischemic stroke. Implement the recommended management of acute ischemic stroke, including immediate interventions, mitigation of sequelae, and subacute management.
An ischemic stroke is a life-threatening emergency condition. It arises when blood flow to the brain is blocked by a blood clot or a piece of fatty plaque that has broken off from the inside of a blood vessel. When blood can’t reach brain tissue, the tissue is at risk of being damaged or dying.
Ischemic stroke is sudden neurologic deficits that result from focal cerebral ischemia associated with permanent brain infarction (eg, positive results on diffusion-weighted MRI).
Ischemic strokes occur when something blocks the blood flow to a part of your brain. This is the most common type of stroke, affecting 87% of people in the U.S. who have a stroke. Treatment involves trying to dissolve the blood clots or fatty deposits, or removing them manually, to allow normal blood flow to return to the brain.
