Dear Sridhar Arumugam,

One of the most used classification to stage stroke is based on CT/MRI findinds:

- early hyperacute: 0 to 6 hours;

- late hyperacute: 6 to 24 hours;

- acute: 24 hours to 1 week;

- subacute: 1 to 3 weeks;

- chronic: more than 3 weeks.

Regards,

ELC

Dilema is betwwen acute and suba acut, and it depends of MRI changes or difficultes in b rain. Firs point for going in subacute stage is positive Babinski and spasam.

I add my opinion before

Three main stages are used to describe the CT manifestations of stroke: acute (less than 24 hours), subacute (24 hours to 5 days) and chronic (weeks)

Dear sir,

As per the Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Round-table consensus- 2017, time points for stroke recovery is defined as;

• Hyper acute (0-24 hours)
• Acute (1-7 days)
• Early sub-acute (7 days- 3 month)
• Late sub-acute ( 3-6 months)
• Chronic ( > 6 months)

Please refer the attached article for further details.

Kind regards,

Sulfikar Ali

this research help me, exactly to definite the stage by time.

thanks

Sulfikar Ali thanks sir.

The Stages are related to CT/MRI/Radiological view point.

Is that anything related to stroke stages point of view or stroke symptoms point of view?

Thank you Sulfikar Ali Elizabeta Leonid Popova Ramova Marzieh Savadkoohi Andoret Van Wyk for your valuable time. Carolin Tiara Lestari Indah hopefully you are enlightened with the answers.

Dear college,

The patient with stroke is in acute stage, when is treated on intensive care unit or neurological department by Neurologist, the duration of stage depends of CT examination and clinical pictures. In subacute stage is became after signs of spasticy, and it is continuinig rehabilitation at physical medicine and rehabilitation department. It is about 30 days. After that when the mobility is increase or is included medical assistive technology, the rehabilitation is depends of clinical picture of patient. In this stage patient can be at reha department in hospital or come from home. After 2 months he is in chronic stage and after assessment of quality of life, he can be at home or in resident home center. After that to order to maintain what has been achieved, there should be continuous weekly rehabilitation up to 2 times (tertiary prevention).

Sincerely

E.P.Ramova
