Predictors for Poststroke Outcomes: The Tel Aviv Brain Acute Stroke Cohort (TABASCO) Study Protocol

Abstract

This study is an attempt to comprehensively investigate the long-term outcome of mild-moderate strokes. Its prospective design will provide quantitative data on stroke recurrence, the incidence of other vascular events and the evaluation of cognitive, affective and functional decline. Identifying the factors associated with poststroke cognitive and functional decline could potentially yield more effective therapeutic approaches.
