Death After Reperfusion Therapy for LVO Stroke: When and Why?

So over half(31% +23%) died during the first week. The neuronal cascade of death

 occurs during the first week. If the stroke medical world would solve the

5 causes of the neuronal cascade of death in the first week you could probably save a lot of those people. But that will require destroying the existing fucking failures of stroke associations  and have them run by survivors.

 Death After Reperfusion Therapy for LVO Stroke: When and Why?

Christine Judge

Over half of stroke-related deaths following treatment for large-vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke occurred within the first 7 days, and underlying causes of death changed over time, according to data from a comprehensive stroke center.

In a retrospective analysis, among 3520 patients receiving intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) and/or endovascular thrombectomy after LVO stroke, 218 died within 90 days (91% from stroke-related illness). Nearly one third of deaths occurred during days 3 to 7 after presentation, and another 23% within days 0 to 2.

Underlying cause of death within the first 7 days was nonhemorrhagic/noninfectious sequelae of stroke in 58% and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage in 25%. Throughout the 90-day follow-up, infection became a more common underlying cause of death. Read more about the study.
