MacLachlan Stroke Unit, Sunnybrook Medical Centre and the Department of Neurosciences, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada.
We evaluated factors affecting mortality and quality of life in 1,013 patients with acute stroke followed for 2 to 8 years. In cerebral infarction, the major determinants for short-term mortality were impaired consciousness, leg weakness, and increasing age. The major determinants for long-term mortality were low level of activity at hospital discharge, advanced age, male sex, heart disease, and hypertension.
