  • Postthrombolysis hemorrhage risk is affected by stroke assessment bias between hemispheres.

    Audebert HJ, Singer OC, Gotzler B, Vatankhah B, Boy S, Fiehler J, Lansberg MG, Albers GW, Kastrup A, Rovira A, Gass A, Rosso C, Derex L, Kim JS, Heuschmann P. Neurology. 2011; 76 (7): 629-36

    Stroke symptoms in right hemispheric stroke tend to be underestimated in clinical assessment scales, resulting in greater infarct volumes in right as compared to left hemispheric strokes despite similar clinical stroke severity. We hypothesized that patients with right hemispheric nonlacunar stroke are at higher risk for secondary intracerebral hemorrhage after thrombolysis despite similar stroke severity.
