... of morbidity and mortality-related outcomes, however, with several limitations. Therefore, in this review, we attempt to address the gap in the existing literature by evaluating the comparative impact of stent retriever-based and aspiration-based thrombectomy interventions in posterior circulation stroke...

... of gait decline and its association with mortality in ALS using the Timed Up and Go test (TUG). Patients were followed up prospectively at the Centre for ALS and Related Disorders in Geneva University Hospitals between 2012 and 2016. The TUG was performed at baseline and subsequent evaluations occurred...

... was a significant risk factor for a 5-year all-cause mortality in acute IS patients with high-grade CAS (hazard ratio = 2.26; 95% confidence interval = 1.35–3.79; p = 0.002). Conclusion: Pre-existing CAD was associated with an increased risk of 5-year mortality in acute IS patients with high-grade CAS. Intensive...

... kidney disease (CKD) benefit from statin therapy. We investigated the effect of statin use during hospitalization in reducing short-term mortality of patients with ischaemic stroke and CKD. Methods: Data of first-ever ischaemic stroke patients without a history of pre-stroke statin treatment was derived...

... (IS), although few epidemiological studies have evaluated the associated mortality and recurrence. Our objective is to determine factors associated with mortality and recurrence of IS in patients with IS and Chagas disease. Methods: We retrospectively studied data obtained from electronic medical records...

...Yun-Zhou Zhang; Jing-Yuan Qie; Qing-Hong Zhang Background: Dysnatremia, which is associated with increased mortality in general intensive care units (ICU), has not been thoroughly studied in neurologic ICU (NICU). Methods: Prevalence of dysnatremia was retrospectively assessed. The multivariable...

... mortality after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods: We prospectively enrolled 271 patients (median age 72 years; 109 females) who were admitted within 24 h of ICH onset between April 2007 and July 2011 and in whom plasma BNP levels were measured upon admission. The patients were assigned to two groups...

... in both common carotid arteries. We evaluated the presence of plaque in carotid segments. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was used to predict both cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Results: During a mean follow-up of 62.4 ± 12.4 months, 71 subjects (5.12%) died and 23 (1.66%) died...

... the first year, the cumulative mortality rate was 69% compared to a rate of 44% in the second year. The initial disability stage, as assessed by the Dementia Disability Scale, was found to be the only significant predictor of non-bedridden survival. The type of dementia, age, type of diagnosis, and post...

... and with previous studies. This investigation shows that the mortality of correctly treated Parkinson patients lies within the range of the expected mortality of a group of a normal population comparable in age and sex. The risk of death for a Parkinson patient is therefore no longer higher than for the normal...

...Simona Sacco; Carmine Marini; Luigi Olivieri; Francesca Pistoia; Antonio Carolei Background: Only a few non-recent studies assessed the importance of hematocrit (HCT) in patients with ischemic stroke. We evaluated how HCT might affect early mortality after stroke. Methods: We investigated all first...
