Cryptogenic Stroke with More Than One Cause versus No Cause by TOAST Classification Lacks Adequate Predictive Power for Stroke Risk Factors and Outcomes (P1.116)

However, cryptogenic more than one cause does not have significant predictive power in demographic, baseline, or outcome prediction models.Disclosure: Dr. Scullen has nothing to disclose.
