Quantitative EEG and functional outcome following acute ischemic stroke

Stroke is a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide, and despite advances in disease prevention, acute treatment and rehabilitation, global stroke burden is expected to rise in the future (Feigin et al. 2017). Early post-stroke prognostication is essential both in the short-term (f. ex. in guiding treatment strategies) and in the long-term (to aid in rehabilitation management, in order to improve recovery and minimize disability). Predictors of stroke disability and associate death consistently include age and clinical / imaging related stroke severity (Adams et al.
