  • Pre-Hospital assessment and determination of stroke severity is a new concept, with the best scale yet to be determined. (physio-pedia.com)
  • The consequences of a stroke, the type of functions affected, and the severity depend on where in the brain it has occurred and the extent of the damage. (adam.com)
  • Stroke severity was determined by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and PedNIHSS on admission. (springeropen.com)
  • Higher injury severity scores are largely due to association with the comorbid medical conditions of COPD, ischemic heart disease, diabetes, cirrhosis, and coagulopathies. (reliasmedia.com)

Vascular2
  • The family history should include information about relatives who have had vascular events at a young age. (medscape.com)
  • Children who have had a stroke should undergo vascular imaging as soon as possible. (springeropen.com)

Subtype2
  • Lower proportions of EPA (β=-0.751), DHA (β=-0.610), and Σω3-PUFAs (β=-0.462) were independently associated with higher NIHSS score, after adjusting for stroke subtype, hemoglobin, high density lipoprotein, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, fasting glucose, 16:0 palmitic acid, and Σsaturated fatty acids. (j-stroke.org)
  • Moreover, a lower proportion of DHA (odds ratio [OR]: 0.20, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.04-0.88), and Σω3-PUFAs (OR: 0.22, 95% CI: 0.05-0.84) showed an independent relationship with poor functional outcome after adjusting for age, sex, smoking status, NIHSS score, stroke subtype, and 16:0 palmitic acid.

Pediatric5
  • Strokes are challenging to diagnose in pediatric emergency departments (EDs) as level of suspicion is low and atypical presentations are common. (annchildneurol.org)
  • Index of suspicion for pediatric strokes among caregivers and clinicians should be increased. (annchildneurol.org)
  • Stroke is one of the top 10 causes of death in the pediatric population [ 1 , 2 ]. (annchildneurol.org)
  • The co-existence of multiple risk factors in pediatric ischemic stroke is noticed. (springeropen.com)
  • Although stroke can occur at any age or stage in life, pediatric stroke is a rare condition. (springeropen.com)
Cerebrovascular2
  • A stroke , also known as a cerebrovascular accident or CVA is when part of the brain loses its blood supply and the part of the body that the blood-deprived brain cells control stops working. (medicinenet.com)
  • Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or stroke is the leading cause of adult disability worldwide. (rnspeak.com)
Headache2
  • Some migraine headache episodes can even mimic stroke with loss of function of one side of the body or vision or speech problems. (medicinenet.com)
  • Less common signs include reversible acute encephalopathy (accompanied by headache, confusion, and seizures), epilepsy and subclinical peripheral neuropathy. (symptoma.com)
Types of stroke1
Migraine1
  • The C max is similar during a migraine attack and during a migraine-free period, but the t max is slightly later during the attack, approximately 2.5 hours compared to 2.0 hours. (nih.gov)
