Table 1:

Outcomes of 87 patients with ischemic stroke imaged by NCCT and CTA

Variable Major Stroke by Imaging (n = 43) Minor Stroke by Imaging (n = 44) P
Deaths, n 6 0 <.0001
Discharge to rehabilitation facility, n (%) 32 (74) 4 (9) <.0001
Discharge to home, n (%) 5 (12) 34 (77) <.0001
Length of stay, days (SE) 12.1 (1.3) 3.7 (0.4) <.0001

Note:—NCCT indicates noncontrast CT; CTA, CT angiography. Significant differences in outcomes between patients with major and minor stroke were assessed using Fisher exact test (deaths, discharge to a rehabilitation facility, or discharge home) and t test (length of stay). Highly significant differences in all outcome measures were found between patients with major and minor stroke who were initially imaged with NCCT and included CTA. Not included in the table are 11 patients who had NCCT without CTA.
