Table 2:

Outcomes of 118 patients with ischemic stroke imaged by MRI and MRA

Variable	Major Stroke by Imaging (n = 13)	Minor Stroke by Imaging (n = 105)	P
Deaths, n	2	0	<.05
Discharge to rehabilitation facility, n (%)	8 (72)	19 (18)	<.001
Discharge to home, n (%)	3 (27)	84 (80)	<.001
Length of stay, days (SE)	12.9 (3.1)	3.1 (0.2)	<.005

Note:—MRI indicates MR imaging; MRA, MR angiography. Significant differences in all outcome measures were found between patients with major and minor stroke who had MRA as the first angiographic study. Statistical tests for each outcome measure are the same as in Table 1. Not included in this table are 14 patients who had MRI including diffusion MRI but not MRA.
