Disability Trajectories Before and After Stroke and Myocardial Infarction

Disability Trajectories Before and After Stroke and Myocardial Infarction Key PointsQuestionIs the slope of disability different before stroke and after recovery from stroke? FindingsIn this population-based cohort study, the slope of increase in disability was 3-fold greater after recovery from stroke compared with before stroke. The slope before and after the comparison event—myocardial infarction—was not different. MeaningStroke may be associated with potentially treatable long-term adverse effects on the brain that lead to accelerated accumulation of disability. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA Neurology American Medical Association
