Overview

Retrospective analysis identifies dysphagia as a key predictor of poor outcomes in young stroke adults, suggesting targeted management may enhance recovery.

Key Points

  • This analysis aims to identify predictors of functional outcome in young adults with acute ischemic stroke, focusing on dysphagia.
  • Retrospective analysis of patients with acute ischemic stroke treated at two university hospitals between January 2020 and June 2023.
  • Comparison of patients aged ≤50 years to those aged >50 years.
  • Multivariable linear regression analyses assessed independent predictors of functional outcome using the modified rankin scale (mRS).
  • Of 5477 patients, 297 (5.4%) were aged ≤50 years; younger patients had lower pre-stroke disability and NIHSS scores.
  • Dysphagia on admission was associated with poorer outcomes, particularly in younger patients (β-coefficient 1.27, 95% CI 0.74–1.79).
  • Dysphagia was identified as the strongest predictor of adverse outcomes in young adults, indicating the need for early intervention.
