Severity and outcomes according to stroke etiology in patients under 50 years of age with ischemic stroke
Abstract To analyze the association of stroke etiological subtypes with severity and outcomes at 3 and 12 months in patients ≤50 years. Observational study of patients admitted to a stroke unit (2007–2013). Variables: demographic data, vascular risk factors, comorbidities, severity on admission (NIHSS), and good functional outcome (mRS ≤ 1) at 3 and 12 months. We used multivariate analyses to evaluate the influence of stroke etiology on severity and outcomes. We included 214 patients, 58.3 % men, mean age 41.4 years. General linear models showed all etiologies were more severe than lacunar strokes (P�...
