Early Neurological Deterioration in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke
Early Neurological Deterioration in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke
This study set out to explore the risk factors of early neurological deterioration (END)
 occurred in patients with acute ischemic stroke and to investigate the corresponding
 predictors.
END refers to the illness aggravation occurred in the early stage of stroke and often
 indicates a poor outcome. Some clinical scales may play an important role in its diagnoses
 and treatments. Across the reviewed studies, the risk factors of END, which included
 biochemical parameters, neuroimaging, ect. were explored incompletely and the effective
 predictors of END is unknown. We aimed to explore the risk factors of END and investigate the
 predictive value of certain scales.
Inclusion Criteria:

 Exclusion Criteria:
