Inconsistent classification of mild stroke and implications of health services delivery

 I have seen nothing that even remotely suggests that any stroke damage diagnosis is objective.  With nothing objective it is impossible to determine exactly what protocols worked and which ones to prescribe.  The prescription of E.T.(Evaluate and Treat) by the doctor to all therapists is completely showing that the doctor is taking no responsibility for survivor recovery.

Inconsistent classification of mild stroke and implications of health services delivery

Researchers sought to perform a scoping review of mild stroke definitions based on stroke severity evaluations and/or clinical signs and symptoms reported in the literature. They searched PubMed, PsycINFO (Ovid), and CINAHL (EBSCO) databases added keyword combinations of a mild stroke, minor stroke, mini-stroke, mild cerebrovascular, minor cerebrovascular, transient ischemic attack, or TIA. For the final review, 62 studies were selected. Between January 2003 and February 2018, inclusion criteria were limited to articles published. It was noted that inequalities in the classification of mild stroke are evident with varying use of stroke severity assessments, measurement cut-off scores, imaging tools, and clinical or functional outcomes. Moreover, continued work is needed to establish a consensus definition of mild stroke, which directly influences treatment receipt, referral for services, and health service delivery.
