Predictive factors for clinical outcomes in Filipino patients with watershed infarction: A single center study

CONCLUSION: Clinical outcomes between watershed infarcts and acute ischemic strokes were similar. Hemodynamic compromise in the setting of severe stenosis is the underlying mechanism for both types of watershed strokes thus, the goal of treatment is to maintain adequate perfusion. High baseline NIHSS score, increased age, female gender and underlying malignancy were all poor predictors of clinical outcomes in patients with watershed strokes.PMID:36908808 | PMC:PMC9995929 | DOI:10.1016/j.ensci.2023.100450
