Outcome in ischaemic stroke: carotid versus vertebro-basilar territory.

Clinical study and laboratory investigations were performed in 166 carotid ischaemic stroke (CIS) patients and 64 vertebro-basilar ischaemic stroke (VBIS) patients. The study revealed some features of VBIS: significant male predominance (p < 0.001), better outcome (for modified Rankin Scale (MRS)) (p < 0.01), significant number of different triggering factors (p < 0.001). Nonsignificant differences in mortality were found in both groups (p > 0.05). Myocardial infarction was an important associated cause of death.

Prognostic criteria in haemorrhagic stroke with good outcome potential.

168 patients with haemorrhagic stroke (H.S.) were clinically and paraclinically studied. In 74 (44%) patients, the outcome was favourable whereas 94 (56%) died. The prognostic criteria were assessed according to: location and size of haematoma, consciousness vegetative disorders, medical history, comorbidity, pupillary and oculomotor disturbances.

Haemodilution therapy in acute ischaemic stroke.

The effect of hemodilution was studied in 106 acute ischaemic stroke patients (55 hemodiluted and 51 control subjects). The investigation did not show statistically significant differences between the two groups regarding the mortality rate and the degree of rehabilitation (modified Rankin Scale) but revealed a significant neurologic score (proposed by the Scandinavian Stroke Study Group) in the hemodiluted group. A correlation between the favourable score modification and the degree of hematocrit modification was also observed.
