Brief Summary

Prospective observational multicenter study to evaluate copeptin as a prognostic marker in patients with an acute cerebrovascular event. It includes four groups of patients, mainly depending on type of initial therapy (intra-arterial thrombolysis, intravenous thrombolysis, conservative treatment, TIA). The study takes place at the Emergency and neurological Department of the University of Bern, Switzerland; Department of Neurology, Goethe University of Frankfurt a.M. (Germany). Further participating centers are under discussion

Study Population

All consecutive patients who are admitted to the emergency department of the Inselspital Bern - Switzerland with a clinical diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke within 24 hours of symptom onset. Inselspital Bern is a university based hospital with a catchment area of about 1.000.000 people

You may qualify if:

  • All consecutive patients who are admitted to the emergency department with a clinical diagnosis of cerebrovascular event (TIA, stroke) within 24 hours of symptom onset

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients without informed consent. Patients discharged with a diagnosis different from stroke or TIA after diagnostic evaluation.
