Blood Pressure Variability and 90-Day Functional Outcome in Branch Atheromatous Disease-Related Stroke: A Multicenter Prospective Study.

ABSTRACT: Branch atheromatous disease (BAD)-related stroke shows distinct prognostic features from other stroke subtypes, with modifiable prognostic factors remaining inconclusive. The present research investigated the association between systolic blood pressure variability (BPV) and 90-day functional outcomes of BAD-related stroke. We enrolled 423 patients (median age 60 years; 70.2% male) with radiologically confirmed BAD from a prospective multicenter study in China. BPV was assessed using standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV), and variation independent of the mean (VIM) of systolic blood pressure measurements during hospitalization. The primary outcome was a poor functional outcome at 90 days, defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score >2. The secondary outcome was early neu
