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.

Responsiveness of the Reaching Performance Scale for Stroke

Challenges of Thrombolysis in a Developing Country: Characteristics and Outcomes in Peru
Background: The availability of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) remains limited worldwide, especially in low-income countries, where the burden of disability due to ischemic stroke is the highest. Aims: To evaluate outcomes and safety of IV-tPA at the only Peruvian reference institute for neurologic diseases. Methods: We conducted a prospective, observational study of stroke patients who received IV-tPA between 2009 and 2016. We assessed characteristics associated with good outcome (modified Rankine scale 0-2) at 3 months using a multivariate regression model; and factors correlated with clinical improvem...
