Complications that follow ischemic stroke are common,frequency ranging from 28% to 95%.It may either directly lead to death or prevent optimal recovery.54% of deaths after ischemic stroke are attributed to medical complications.Most complications occur during the first week,and stroke severity is the most important risk factor.The common serious medical complications are chest or urinary tract infection,deep venous thrombosis,pulmonary embolism,cardiac events,gastrointestinal bleeding,hyperglycemia,pressure sores.Falls,shoulder pain and depression are also common complications.Most of medical complications are preventable or treatable to some extent if recognized,so preventive strategies and appropriate treatment should be employed as early as possible.Prevention,early recognition,and management complications could improve short-term and long-term prognoses after ischemic stroke.
