Initial calf circumference predicts poor disability outcomes in patients with stroke
Low CC at admission in patients with acute stroke is associated with poor functional outcome at 12 months post-stroke. CC, which is easily measured in the acute setting, may serve as a predictor of poor outcomes. Future multicenter prospective interventional studies are needed to clarify the causal relationship between CC and functional outcome.
