Some authors emphasize that timing of fever can indicate origin. 3, 30 Although fever resulting from stroke-related pathologic processes starts within 24 hours of stroke symptoms, fever due to infection emerges at later time points. This suggests that if preexisting infection is excluded, early fever in stroke patients can indicates a neurological origin.
Sep 8, 2020 · Understanding the relationship between infection and stroke has taken on new urgency in the era of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This association is not a new concept, as several infections have long been recognized to contribute to stroke risk. The association of infection and stroke is also bidirectional. Although infection can lead to stroke, stroke also induces immune ...

Nov 1, 1995 · Conclusions Fever in the first 7 days was an independent predictor of poor outcome during the first month after a stroke.No data were available on the underlying causes of fever, but the higher risk of death in the first 10 days, most frequently attributed to neurological mechanisms, suggested that high temperature was an independent component of poor prognosis and not only an epiphenomenon of ...

Aug 21, 2008 · Background and Purpose— Many studies associate fever with poor outcome in patients with neurological injury, but this relationship is blurred by divergence in populations and outcome measures. We sought to incorporate all recent scholarship addressing fever in brain-injured patients into a comprehensive meta-analysis to evaluate disparate clinical findings. Methods— We conducted a Medline ...

PubMed was searched through its inception to September 16th, 2016 by using the MeSH terms “Cerebral Infarction”, “Stroke”, “Cerebral Hemorrhage” and the free text terms “fever”, “infection”, “pneumonia” and “urinary tract infection”. The search was complemented by a free text search using the same terms and filtered for “Ahead of print” to catch st...
These searches resulted in a total of 5294 articles, which were assessed manually first by title, then by abstract and finally by full text. Only studies in English was considered in the process. Grey literature was not included in the process. A selection was made based on the following inclusion criteria, aiming to include articles regardless of ...
Author, publication year, study design, inclusion and exclusion criteria, number of included patients, definitions of outcome measures, study time period and covariates included in the regression model were extracted from all included studies by one investigator. In addition, all available results on predictors of pneumonia, UTI and all-cause fever...
