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

1

all-cause mortality

Death during the follow-up in every single reason

Time frame
3-6 months after onset.
2

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

Time frame
3-6 months after onset.

Secondary outcomes

1

Rehospitalization

The rehospitalized times of any circumstances except for admission to hospital only for examination per year will be used to measure the situation

Time frame
1 month to 24 months after onset.
2

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.

Time frame
1 month to 24 months after onset.
3

modified Ranking score (mRS)

The minimum value is 0, and maximum value is 6, and higher scores mean a worse outcome.

Time frame
1 month to 24 months after onset.
