Prognostic Significance of Short-Term Blood Pressure Variability in Acute Stroke: Systematic Review [Clinical Sciences]

Conclusions— This systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that greater systolic BPV, measured early from ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage onset, is associated with poor longer-term functional outcome. Future prospective studies should investigate how best to measure and define BPV in acute stroke, as well as to determine its prognostic significance.
