Risk Factors and Functional Impact of Medical Complications in Stroke

Abstract: ObjectiveTo determine the incidence and risk factors for medical complications in Korean patients suffering from stroke and the impact of such complications on post-stroke functional outcomes.MethodsWe assessed patients enrolled in a prospective cohort study. All recruited patients had suffered a first acute stroke episode and been admitted to nine university hospitals in Korea between August 2012 and June 2015. We analyzed patient and stroke characteristics, comorbidities, prevalence of post-stroke medical co… Show more

“…One multicenter study reported that internal medical complications occurred in 85% of patients with acute stroke. another study comparing ischaemic and hemorrhagic stroke found that the common complications related to post-hemorrhagic stroke, occured during the rehabilitation period were pneumonia (6.72%), urinary tract infection (4.96%), bowel dysfunction (10.26%), and pressure sore (0.69%) (20,21). Multiple logistic regression model showed that stroke onset >3 hours and gi tract bleeding were significant predictors of mortality in patients with hemorrhagic stroke.…”

“…Dependent on how it is measured, 14%–31% of people who sustain a stroke globally are classified as having a severe stroke,13–18 a cohort of the stroke population that experiences worse outcomes compared with survivors of less severe stroke 19–30. In the initial hospitalisation phase poststroke, they are more likely to develop acute medical complications, which are negatively associated with functional recovery 19. Three month mortality can be as high as 40%, compared with just under 5% for those patients with mild stroke 20–22.…”
