Comprehensive Stroke Risk Assessment
Variable analysis
- Treatment regimen [intravenous thrombolysis, arterial thrombolysis, antiplatelet, anticoagulation, statin, and proton pump inhibitor therapy (PPI)]
- Demographics (age and sex)
- Vascular risk factors (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and ischemic heart disease)
- Baseline blood pressure [systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP)]
- Trial of Org 10 172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) [large-artery atherosclerosis, cardioembolism, small-vessel occlusion, acute stroke of other determined etiology, stroke of undetermined etiology]
- Stroke severity (SS) [defined as mild stroke according to the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores of ≤ 8, moderate-to-severe stroke according to NIHSS scores of ≥9; all assessments completed on admission]
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features [stroke distribution (SD; anterior circulation, posterior circulation, and anterior/posterior circulation), side of hemisphere (SOH; left, right, and bilateral), number of stroke lesions (NOSs; single and multiple stroke lesions), site of stroke lesions (SOSs; cortical, cortico-subcortical, subcortical, brainstem, and cerebellum)]
- Laboratory tests [total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), fasting blood glucose (FBG), homocysteine (HCY), uric acid (UA), fibrinogen (FIB), myoglobin (MB), C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), HBALC, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), and S-100β levels]
- Stroke comorbidities [dysphagia and stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP)]
- Independent variables not explicitly mentioned.
- Dependent variables not explicitly mentioned.
- Control variables not explicitly mentioned.

As authors may omit details in methods from publication, our AI will look for missing critical information across the 5 most similar protocols.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
