Outcomes of 118 patients with ischemic stroke imaged by MRI and MRA
| Variable | Major Stroke by Imaging (n = 13) | Minor Stroke by Imaging (n = 105) | P |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deaths, n | 2 | 0 | <.05 |
| Discharge to rehabilitation facility, n (%) | 8 (72) | 19 (18) | <.001 |
| Discharge to home, n (%) | 3 (27) | 84 (80) | <.001 |
| Length of stay, days (SE) | 12.9 (3.1) | 3.1 (0.2) | <.005 |
Note:—MRI indicates MR imaging; MRA, MR angiography. Significant differences in all outcome measures were found between patients with major and minor stroke who had MRA as the first angiographic study. Statistical tests for each outcome measure are the same as in Table 1. Not included in this table are 14 patients who had MRI including diffusion MRI but not MRA.
