Survival after stroke. Risk factors and determinants in the Copenhagen Stroke StudyLars Peter Kammersgaard

Dan Med Bull 57:B4189. 2010..Smoking is uniformly associated with a poorer survival after stroke. Stroke unit treatment improves both short- and longterm survival regardless of stroke type, severity, age, and cardiovascular risk factor profile...
Cardiovascular risk factors and 5-year mortality in the Copenhagen Stroke StudyLars Peter Kammersgaard
The Stroke Unit, Hvidovre University Hospital, Hvidovre, Denmark
Cerebrovasc Dis 21:187-93. 2006..The aim of this study was to investigate the up-to-date prognostic significance of cardiovascular risk factors for 5-year survival in a large unselected ischemic stroke population...
Short- and long-term prognosis for very old stroke patients. The Copenhagen Stroke StudyLars Peter Kammersgaard
Stroke Unit, Hvidovre University Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark
Age Ageing 33:149-54. 2004..The aims of this study were to evaluate clinical characteristics of patients aged 85 years or more at stroke onset and to investigate very old age as an independent predictor of short- and long-term outcome...
[Thrombolysis in apoplexy. How big is the target group and how many benefit?]Lars Peter Kammersgaard
Neurologisk afdeling, Amtssygehuset i Gentofte, DK 2900 Hellerup
Ugeskr Laeger 164:3855-8. 2002..We sought to investigate the possible impact of thrombolysis in an unselected Danish stroke population...
Admission body temperature predicts long-term mortality after acute stroke: the Copenhagen Stroke StudyL P Kammersgaard
Department of Neurology, University Hospital Gentofte, Copenhagen, Denmark
Stroke 33:1759-62. 2002..In the present study, we investigated the predictive role of admission body temperature to the long-term mortality in stroke patients...
Feasibility and safety of inducing modest hypothermia in awake patients with acute stroke through surface cooling: A case-control study: the Copenhagen Stroke StudyL P Kammersgaard
Department of Neurology, Bispebjerg, Copenhagen, Denmark
Stroke 31:2251-6. 2000..In this case-control study, we evaluated the feasibility and safety of inducing modest hypothermia by a surface cooling method in awake patients with acute stroke...
Potentially reversible factors during the very acute phase of stroke and their impact on the prognosis: is there a large therapeutic potential to be explored?H S Jørgensen
Department of Neurology, Copenhagen, Denmark
Cerebrovasc Dis 11:207-11. 2001..5-56; p < 0.01). We have shown that in human stroke a strong and more than additive association exists between potentially reversible parameters and outcome. Intervention trials can prove whether these marked relations are causal...
Treatment and rehabilitation on a stroke unit improves 5-year survival. A community-based studyH S Jørgensen
Departments of Neurology, Bispebjerg Hospital, Frederiksberg Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark
Stroke 30:930-3. 1999..In the present study we wanted to test the hypothesis that this mortality-reducing effect is not temporary but is long lasting...
What determines good recovery in patients with the most severe strokes? The Copenhagen Stroke StudyH S Jørgensen
Department of Neurology, Bispebjerg Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark
Stroke 30:2008-12. 1999..Even patients with the most severe strokes sometimes experience a remarkably good recovery. We evaluated possible predictors of a good outcome to search for new therapeutic strategies...
Manual and oral apraxia in acute stroke, frequency and influence on functional outcome: The Copenhagen Stroke StudyP M Pedersen
Department of Neurology, Bispebjerg Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark
Am J Phys Med Rehabil 80:685-92. 2001..CONCLUSION: Apraxia is significantly less frequent in unselected patients with acute stroke than has previously been assumed and has no independent negative influence on functional outcome...
Who benefits from treatment and rehabilitation in a stroke Unit? A community-based studyH S Jorgensen
Department of Neurology, Bispebjerg Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark
Stroke 31:434-9. 2000..We wanted to examine if these effects are limited to certain groups of patients or if they apply to all patients independent of age, sex, comorbidity, and initial stroke severity...
[Treatment and rehabilitation in an apoplexy unit increases the 5-year survival]H S Jørgensen
H S Bispebjerg Hospital, neurologsk afdeling
Ugeskr Laeger 162:3450-2. 2000..01. Treatment and rehabilitation of unselected stroke patients in a stroke unit reduces initial mortality, discharge rate to nursing home, reduces cost of treatment, and improves longterm survival up to five years after stroke...
[Factors of importance for early and late admission of patients with stroke and transient cerebral ischemia]Berit H Rasmussen
Neurologisk afdeling, Amtssygehuset i Gentofte, DK-2900 Hellerup
Ugeskr Laeger 165:225-8. 2003..DISCUSSION: Patients with stroke or TIA in a Danish metropolitan area arrive at hospital a median of 2.6 hours after the stroke. Admission by ambulance after calling emergency was associated with the shortest onset to admission time...
Higher total serum cholesterol levels are associated with less severe strokes and lower all-cause mortality: ten-year follow-up of ischemic strokes in the Copenhagen Stroke StudyTom Skyhøj Olsen
Stroke Unit, Department of Neurorehabilitation, Hvidovre University Hospital, Kettegaard Alle 30, DK 2650 Hvidovre, Denmark
Stroke 38:2646-51. 2007..We investigated the relation between total serum cholesterol and both stroke severity and poststroke mortality to test the hypothesis that hypercholesterolemia is primarily associated with minor stroke...
