This study aims to describe clinical characteristics, functional outcomes, and predictors of unfavorable outcomes in young adults with ischemic stroke.
Retrospective cohort study of 377 patients aged ≤40 years with ischemic stroke.
Analyzed clinical data including NIHSS, infarct size, reperfusion therapies, and 90-day mRS.
Used multivariate logistic regression to assess predictors of unfavorable outcomes.
Out of 377 patients, 88 were very young adults with a median age of 32 years.
At 90 days, 78% achieved functional independence, while 22% had an unfavorable outcome (mRS ≥2).
Moderate-to-large infarct size was independently associated with unfavorable outcome (aOR, 5.03; 95% CI 1.22–20.7).
