THE OPTIONS FOR PROGNOSIS OF THE OUTCOME OF ISCHEMIC STROKE IN YOUNG PATIENTS

Abstract

Objective. To develop criteria for prognosis of the outcome of ischemic stroke, taking into account age, dynamics of state assessment, the Rankin and NIHSS scales readings and the fact of disability in the long-term period. The universal reliable criteria, that allow to predict the outcome of ischemic stroke, have not been developed yet. Material and methods. The study group consisted of 246 patients with ischemic stroke aged 18 to 44 who were observed from 2008 to 2021. Results. It is impossible to predict disability in a long-term period of ischemic stroke reliably. Predicting the outcome of ischemic stroke using the Rankin and NIHSS scales is significant in the acute period and allows to predict the dynamics of recovery in mild and moderate cases. Conclusion. The predictive value of the integrative indicators of the patient's condition, assessed by the Rankin and NIHSS scales, has been established. © Gusev V.V., Lvova O.A., Kovtun O.P., Shamalov N.A., Sergeev A.P., Sergeeva M.V., Medvedeva D.A., 2024.
