Index Stroke

One in six patients with a symptomatic carotid web experienced a recurrent stroke within 2 years of the index stroke, according to results of a cohort study of more than 3,400 patients with large vessel occlusion stroke.

Acute stroke case fatality decreased substantially between 2003 and 2017 at the same time that discharge to home or rehabilitation increased and long-term care admissions decreased, according to a Canadian study.
