Impact of Undernutrition in Patients Over 70 Years of Age Thrombolysed and/or Thrombectomized for Stroke

Fondation Hôpital Saint-Joseph248 enrolled

Overview

Undernutrition is a frequent problem in hospitals (at least 30% of patients, SENECA-NHANES studies). Its impact on morbidity and mortality is well known in gerontology, oncology and intensive care. There are very few neurovascular studies dealing with the consequences of undernutrition present before the stroke. Indeed, most of the medical literature concerns only undernutrition acquired after a stroke. The investigator propose to analyze medical data from a cohort of patients over 70 years of age thrombolysed and/or thrombectomized in the neurovascular department between the years 2014 and 2019.

Time frame: Day 5

Modified Rankin Scale

Rankin scale: 0 - No symptoms. 1. \- No significant disability. Able to carry out all usual activities, despite some symptoms. 2. \- Slight disability. Able to look after own affairs without assistance, but unable to carry out all previous activities. 3. \- Moderate disability. Requires some help, but able to walk unassisted. 4. \- Moderately severe disability. Unable to attend to own bodily needs without assistance, and unable to walk unassisted. 5. \- Severe disability. Requires constant nursing care and attention, bedridden, incontinent. 6. \- Dead.
