To identify risk factors and predictors of functional outcomes in young adults experiencing ischemic strokes.
Conducted a multicenter, prospective observational study in young adults (18-55 years) with ischemic stroke.
Collected 76 variables including demographic, clinical, laboratory, imaging, and treatment data.
Evaluated patients at two Stroke Units in the Valencian Community from December 2023 to April 2025.
184 patients included, median age 49 years, with a high prevalence of vascular risk factors (smoking 49%, obesity 45%, hypertension 41%).
Baseline NIHSS median was 9, correlating significantly with 90-day mRS (ρ=0.41; p<0.001).
In multivariable analysis, baseline NIHSS was the strongest predictor of poor functional outcome (OR=1.07; p=0.03; AUC=0.74).

Implication

Prospective cohort identifies baseline NIHSS as key predictor of poor functional outcome in young adults with ischemic stroke, suggesting need for tailored interventions.
