“…Our estimates of hospital-based survival data (not shown) were more similar to the studies which report on the survival of all stroke admissions to hospital (Carroll, 1962;Howard et al, 1963;Boyle and Reid, 1965;Conant, et al, 1965) (Pincock, 1957;Lindgren, 1958;Marshall and Shaw, 1959;Robinson et al, 1959;David and Heyman, 1960;Carter, 1964;Katz et al, 1966). As like ours as any are those of Carroll (1962), who reports on 98 men and women with an average age of 67 years admitted to the City Hospitals in Baltimore, Maryland.…”

The survival rates at one month and one year for all strokes in the community were 43 and 30%, respectively. Married men were found to spend an average of 37 days in hospital, compared with 55 for married women; single women stayed in hospital an average of 10 days longer than single men. It is hoped that in addition to any value the overall findings may have in the planning of health services they will serve as a useful baseline in the evaluation of new methods of prophylaxis and treatment for cerebrovascular disease.

“…cardiac disease which is a very common feature in stroke patients (18,23). Several reports have stated that heart disease, either unspecified (5, 8) or congestive (9,25), is associated with an impaired short-term prognosis after stroke. It is possible that consideration of such and other factors may help to improve the quality of prognostication during and after an acute stroke.…”

ABSTRACT. Subjective assessment of the short‐term outcome and functional state at discharge was made shortly after admission in 200 consecutive patients with acute cerebrovascular disease (CVD) treated in a stroke unit. The assessments proved correct in 59% of the patients. The accuracy of the predictions was not significantly better in patients with a correct preliminary diagnosis than in those with a false. When a known prognostic score for prediction of hospital mortality was tested on 179 of the patients with cerebral haemorrhage or infarction, a correct trend was noted. The score was best applicable in patients with serious symptoms and those with only minor deficit on admission. A high sensitivity of the score was combined with a relatively low specificity. A true comparison between the predictive value of the score and the quality of the subjective assessments was difficult as the latter, in addition to prediction of mortality, also included prediction of the patient's functional state at discharge. The degree of neurological deficit rather than the type of cerebrovascular lesion seemed associated with the short‐term outcome. Improvement of the quality of prognostic assessments in CVD is warranted.
