JNNP: Long-term follow-up comparison between acute functional pseudo-stroke and mild acute ischemic stroke

Every year, many patients are admitted to the emergency room for suspected acute ischemic stroke (AIS)

Therefore, this article compares the long-term prognosis of patients with FSM and patients with mild AIS

This single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted at the University Medical Center of Groningen

This single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted at the University Medical Center of Groningen

Participants used the Clinical Global Impression Improvement (CGI-I) Scale and CGI Severity (CGI-S) Scale to score their changes in symptoms and the severity of symptoms at admission and follow-up

116 patients agreed to participate, of which 38 patients were diagnosed with FSM and 78 patients were diagnosed with mild AIS

A) Clinical overall impression improvement scale (B) Clinical overall impression severity scale

At follow-up, FSM patients scored significantly lower in several sub-areas of RAND-36: social function (median 56 (IQR 50-75) vs 75 (IQR 63-88); p=0.

During follow-up, FSM patients scored significantly lower in several sub-areas of RAND-36: During follow-up, FSM patients scored significantly lower in several sub-areas of RAND-36:

Compared with patients with mild AIS, the self-evaluated long-term prognosis of FSM patients is worse

Compared with patients with mild AIS, the self-evaluated long-term prognosis of FSM patients is worse

Given that 80% of FSM patients have persistent symptoms and have a significant impact on the quality of life, it can be considered that the prognosis of FSM is poor
