Addressing Systemic Complications of Acute Stroke
Published: December 05, 2024
- Systemic complications like fever, infections, respiratory, and gastrointestinal issues are common after stroke and contribute to early mortality, long-term disability, and a heavier health care burden.
- Despite the known link between post-stroke complications and poor outcomes, there is a lack of well-designed RCTs on prevention and treatment, limiting effective interventions.
- Organized stroke unit care with protocol-based management and multidisciplinary teams helps reduce complications, improve outcomes, and optimize recovery in person who had a stroke.
