Outcome of stroke patients admitted to the intensive care unit the intensive care unit (ICU) is poor and haemorrhagic stroke, fixed dilated pupil(s) and GCS \<10 are associated with increased mortality and poor functional outcome. However little is known about the impact of clinical events occuring during the ICU stay (ventilator acquired pneumoniae, shock, dysglycemia....). The objective of this study was to determine the mortality rate and the functional outcomes of stroke patients admitted to ICU and to identify predictors of poor outcome in this population.
