Functional outcomes of ischemic stroke patients aged over 80 years treated with acute revascularization therapy according to pre-morbid disability: a PARADISE study

ConclusionAlthough a large proportion of older patients with a pre-existing disability had a poor functional outcome, they did not differ from their non-impaired counterparts regarding prognostic factors. This means that there were no factors in our study that would help clinicians identify patients at risk of poor functional outcomes after revascularization therapy among those with prior disability. Further studies are needed to better understand the post-stroke trajectory of older IS patients with a pre-morbid disability.
