Decreased level of consciousness in acute ischemic stroke: risk factors, territories, stroke mechanisms and outcome. A single-centre cohort study
The 10% of AIS patients with DLOC most often involve the upper brainstem, thalami and temporal lobes. DLOC patients have a higher likelihood of unwitnessed stroke onset and of their stroke being missed. Long-term functional outcome is clearly worse and mortality higher with DLOC even after adjustment for other prognostic factors.
