One year prognosis after suffering the onset of cerebrovascular disease in patients from a public hospital in Lima, Peru.
Authors: Alvarado-Dulanto CM, Lazo Mde L, Loza-Herrera JD, Málaga G Abstract In Latin America, there is almost nonexistense information about the prognosis of patients with stroke.

We did a prospective cohort study, recruiting patients in the medicine service of a public hospital, and follow them up to one year after their first-ever stroke.

Predictors of Functional Outcome among Stroke Patients in Lima, Peru
Conclusions: Favorable outcome after stroke was independently associated with younger age, a lower NIHSS score, male gender, being divorced, and not being on SIS insurance. These findings suggest that additional study of worse functional outcomes in patients with SIS insurance be conducted and confirm the importance of risk adjustment for age, stroke severity (according to the NIHSS scale), and other socioeconomic factors in outcomes studies. Future studies should preferentially assess outcome at 30 days and 6 months to provide more reliable comparisons and allow additional study of Peruvian end-of-life decision-making and care.
