Why the study?
Understanding the impact of early vascular aging on acute ischemic stroke outcomes was sought to validate the early vascular aging ambulatory score and assess its association with stroke type, severity, and prognosis.
Does the early vascular aging ambulatory score (EVAAs) predict poor outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke?
Population
2,730 AIS patients with a mean age of 72.0 ± 14.4 years
Comparison
Patients with EVA vs without EVA based on EVAAs
Follow-up
90 days

Should not yet guide acute ischemic stroke care; leaves open prospective validation of EVAAs for risk stratification.
Does the early vascular aging ambulatory score (EVAAs) predict poor outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke?
The early vascular aging ambulatory score (EVAAs) is a significant independent predictor of adverse outcomes at discharge and 90 days in patients with acute ischemic stroke, particularly those with lower cardiovascular disease burden.
