Gait speed after mild stroke/transient ischemic attack was associated with long-term adverse outcomes: A cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The association between gait speed and adverse outcomes after stroke has not been fully illustrated. This study aimed to explore the association of gait speed on long-term outcomes in minor stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).

Methods

We performed a longitudinal study with acute minor stroke or TIA based on a subgroup of the Third China National Stroke Registry data. The gait speed was evaluated using a 10-meter walking test at discharge and 3 months after the stroke onset. The primary outcomes were poor functional outcomes at 1 year, defined by a modified Rankin Score (mRS) of 2-6. Additional outcomes included all-cause death, ambulate dependency (mRS score 4-6), cognitive impairment (Montreal Cognitive Assessment <26), stroke recurrence, and composite vascu
