Table 4. Demographic and clinical data for the 34 patients with recurrent stroke according to the size of the deep white matter lesions as estimated by the Fazekas scale score.

The data are shown as the median [interquartile range] or as the number as appropriate. Statistically significant findings are shown in bold (p<0.05).

F: female; FIM-motor: motor component of the functional independence measure; H: hemorrhagic; I: ischemic; M: male; SIAS-motor: motor component of the stroke impairment assessment set
