Sex Differences in the Clinical Presentation, Resource Use, and 3-Month Outcome of Acute Stroke in Europe: Data From a Multicenter Multinational Hospital-Based Registry
Antonio Di Carlo,Maria Lamassa,Marzia Baldereschi,Giovanni Pracucci,Anna Maria Basile,Charles D.A. Wolfe,Maurice Giroud,Anthony Rudd,Augusto Ghetti,Domenico Inzitari +9 more
TL;DR: Sex-specific differences existed in a large European study of hospital admissions for acute stroke and both medical and sociodemographic factors may significantly influence stroke outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Edaravone represents a neuroprotective agent which is potentially useful for treating acute ischemic stroke, since it can exert significant effects on functional outcome as compared with placebo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Age-Related Cerebral White Matter Changes on the Transition to Disability – The LADIS Study: Rationale, Design and Methodology
Leonardo Pantoni,Anna Maria Basile,Giovanni Pracucci,Kjell Asplund,Julien Bogousslavsky,Hugues Chabriat,Timo Erkinjuntti,Franz Fazekas,José M. Ferro,Michael G. Hennerici,John T. O'Brien,Philip Scheltens,Marieke C. Visser,Lars-Olof Wahlund,Gunhild Waldemar,Anders Wallin,Domenico Inzitari +16 more
TL;DR: The longitudinal design of the LADIS study will give insight into the possible role of ARWMC and their progression as an independent contributor to disability in the elderly, eventually helping to develop preventive strategies to reduce the burden of disability in late life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics, Outcome, and Care of Stroke Associated With Atrial Fibrillation in Europe Data From a Multicenter Multinational Hospital–Based Registry (The European Community Stroke Project)
Maria Lamassa,Antonio Di Carlo,Giovanni Pracucci,Anna Maria Basile,Gloria Trefoloni,Paola Vanni,Stefano Spolveri,Maria Cristina Baruffi,Giancarlo Landini,Augusto Ghetti,Charles D.A. Wolfe,Domenico Inzitari +11 more
TL;DR: Stroke associated with atrial fibrillation has a poor prognosis in terms of death and function and prevention and care of stroke with AF is a major challenge for European health systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in white matter as determinant of global functional decline in older independent outpatients: three year follow-up of LADIS (leukoaraiosis and disability) study cohort
Domenico Inzitari,Giovanni Pracucci,Anna Poggesi,Giovanna Carlucci,Frederik Barkhof,Hugues Chabriat,Timo Erkinjuntti,Franz Fazekas,José M. Ferro,Michael G. Hennerici,Peter Langhorne,John T. O'Brien,Philip Scheltens,Marieke C. Visser,Lars-Olof Wahlund,Gunhild Waldemar,Anders Wallin,Leonardo Pantoni +17 more
TL;DR: The three year results of the LADIS study suggest that in older adults who seek medical attention for non-disabling complaints, severe age related changes in white matter independently and strongly predict rapid global functional decline.
