A majority (62.6%) of participants reported functional independence based on the Rankin scale.
Greater neurological deficits significantly increase the risk of moderate to severe disability by more than 4 times.
The study used a robust Poisson model to analyze data from 241 participants over a 2-3 year timeframe.
Key findings may inform strategies for rehabilitation and care in ischemic stroke patients, emphasizing the need for thrombolysis.
