NCT00890812

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utility of measuring coagulation factor activities in the setting of acute ischemic stroke, as potential markers of inherited thrombotic risk. The investigators will determine if relationships exist between coagulation factors, including factor VIII, factor IX, and factor XI and clinical diagnosis, classification, and outcome. The investigators will determine if any significant elevations of these factor activities are independent thrombotic risk factors. Null Hypothesis: There is no statistical difference between coagulation factors, including factors VIII, IX, or XI activity levels in patients having acute ischemic stroke as compared to acute stroke mimics.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To determine the relationship between elevated factors VIII, IX and XI and acute ischemic stroke as compared to other emergent events.

    At time of incident stroke (baseline) and at early follow-up (30-60 Days post stroke).

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • To determine the relationship between elevated factors VIII, IX and XI and stroke subtype.

    30-60 Days post stroke

  • To determine if a relationship exists between elevated factors VIII, IX and XI and the clinical severity and stroke outcome.

    30-60 Days post stroke

  • To determine if factors VIII, IX and XI level are different in the acute phase of ischemic stroke relative to chronic phase.

    30-60 Days post stroke

  • To determine if a relationship exists between factors VIII, IX and XI levels and early stroke/TIA recurrence.

    30-60 Days post stroke

Study Arms (2)

Factors VIII, IX and XI levels measured

Case group

Non Stroke patients

This is the control group. This group represents patients who were initially evaluated for stroke.
