Prevalence, Predictors, and Prognostic Implications of Covert Brain Infarctions in First-Ever Acute Ischaemic Stroke: A South Indian Study
CBIs are prevalent in over one-third of first-ever AIS cases and are linked to specific infarct patterns and advanced age, rather than classic stroke risk factors. Though not associated with long-term disability, their presence may portend early recurrence. Recognition and characterization of CBI should inform post-stroke monitoring strategies and future preventative trials.
