About this trial
This is a single-center prospective cohort study of predictive factors related to prognosis of ischemic stroke due to large-artery atherosclerosis.
From March 1, 2021 to December 31, 2026, 1000 patients with ischemic stroke due to large-artery atherosclerosis who are admitted to the Department of Neurology or Neurosurgery, Tongji Hospital are going to be recruited. Detailed clinical data in emergency room and in-hospital will be obtained from the medical record reviews, and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score will be done by certified neurologists to assess the severity of the disease in acute stage and treatment outcome during the follow-up. All cases will undergo routine blood tests, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cerebral vascular examination, such as TCD, CTA, HRMR or DSA. The investigators will analyze the in-hospital factors that could predict the outcome to provide more evidence-based suggestions in the treatment and prognosis of atherosclerotic ischemic cerebrovascular disease.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
all-cause mortality
Death during the follow-up in every single reason
Stroke of any kind
Brain CT or MRI scans will be used to measure whether there is any kind of stroke, including TIA, ischemic stroke, and hemorrhage
Secondary outcomes
Rehospitalization
The rehospitalized times of any circumstances except for admission to hospital only for examination per year will be used to measure the situation
National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS score)
The minimum value is 0, and maximum value is 42, and higher scores mean a worse outcome.
modified Ranking score (mRS)
The minimum value is 0, and maximum value is 6, and higher scores mean a worse outcome.
