Hemorrhagic Transformation in Acute Ischemic Stroke Stroke 28:957-960, Larrue,V.,et al, 1997 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The severity of initial clinical deficit(odds ratio 2.5;95%confidence interval[CI]2.6 to 4.0)and the presence of early ischemic changes on CT scan were associated with increased risk of hemorrhagic infarction. Increasing age(in decades;OR,1.3;95%CI,1.0 to 1.7)and treatment with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator were related to the risk of parenchymal hemorrhage.Since all potential contributing factors are readily discernible upon hospital admission,they should be used to improve selection of patients into future studies.
