Association of Embolic Sources With Cause-Specific Functional Outcomes Among Adults With Cryptogenic Stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

It is unknown whether poststroke outcome varies between different potential causes in patients with cryptogenic stroke.

Objective

To investigate whether functional outcome differs according to potential embolic sources after cryptogenic stroke.

Design, setting, and participants

This multicenter, hospital-based, prospective stroke registry cohort study investigated potential embolic sources on admission and assessed 3-month outcome in patients with ischemic stroke hospitalized at 7 stroke centers in the Fukuoka Stroke Registry. This registry enlisted 9866 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke who were enrolled from June 11, 2007, to May 31, 2016, in Fukuoka, Japan. Patients with small vessel occlusion (n = 3130), extracranial and intracranial ather
