The study published in the journal
‘Stroke’ found that 15 per cent people out of 499 patients, who had had
experience minor stroke, reported development of some sort of disability
within the next 90 days of the stroke, but they were able to perform
their routine tasks on their own.
The risk of developing a disability increases by 12 per cent if the patient experiences recurrent strokes within a few days. Other people who are at the risk of developing disabilities are type 2 diabetics and patients with blocked brain arteries.
The authors of the study suggested that if clot-busting drugs are administered to patients with stroke, the risk of disability can be staved off, but it’s crucial that the medications are given within a specified time frame.
