متن کاملBody weight after stroke: lessons from the obesity paradox.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Outcome after acute stroke is determined to a large extent by poststroke complications. Nutritional status and metabolic balance may substantially contribute to outcome after stroke. Key mechanisms of stroke pathophysiology can induce systemic catabolic imbalance with impaired metabolic efficiency and degradation of body tissues. SUMMARY Tissue wasting, sarcopenia, and ...
متن کاملObesity paradox in stroke – Myth or reality? A systematic review
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Both stroke and obesity show an increasing incidence worldwide. While obesity is an established risk factor for stroke, its influence on outcome in ischemic stroke is less clear. Many studies suggest a better prognosis in obese patients after stroke ("obesity paradox"). This review aims at assessing the clinical outcomes of obese patients after stroke by performing a syst...
متن کاملBody mass index and death by stroke: no obesity paradox.
IMPORTANCE Reports of an obesity paradox have led to uncertainty about secondary prevention in obese patients with stroke. The paradox is disputed and has been claimed to be an artifact due to selection bias. OBJECTIVE To determine whether the obesity paradox in stroke is real or an artificial finding due to selection bias. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS We studied survival after stroke ...
متن کاملNo Impact of Body Mass Index on Outcome in Stroke Patients Treated with IV Thrombolysis BMI and IV Thrombolysis Outcome
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The impact of excess body weight on prognosis after stroke is controversial. Many studies report higher survival rates in obese patients ("obesity paradox"). Recently, obesity has been linked to worse outcomes after intravenous (IV) thrombolysis, but the number and sample size of these studies were small. Here, we aimed to assess the relationship between body weight and s...
