Clinical Presentation as a Guide to Early Prognosis in Vertebrobasilar Stroke
Stroke 23:165-170, Nadeau,S.,et al, 1992
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Thirty-day and 3-year survival rates were 100%and 71%respectively,in the single-sector group,and 96%and 73&respectively,in the top-of-the-basilar group.Thirty-day and 3-year stroke recurrence free survival rates were 89% and 76%respectively,in the single-sector group,and 96%and 88%respectively, in the top-of-the-basilar group.Seven of the 11 patients in the multisector group died within 2 months of ictus,three having experienced recurrence.These data,in part supported by prior studies,demonstrate the feasibility and heuristic value of the classification scheme and suggest that single-sector and top-of-the-basilar stroke patients have a relatively benign early prognosis and modest long-term stroke rates.
