NCT03264742

Brief Summary

Patients are assigned to KSW's Stroke Unit as part of the emergency treatment. There the patients are included in the study and treated according to the concept on the Stroke Unit within the complex treatment. The patients are included after clarification and with the consent of the patients. On the morning after the day of intake, the first determination of the ghrelin takes place in the routine blood sampling. Similarly, 48 hours later and 3 months after the stroke, a blood sampling is performed to determine ghrelin. The De Morton Mobility Index (DEMMI), the 9-hole-peg assay and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) are determined on the day of admission, on the 3rd day, and three months after stroke. This is done within the framework of the routine clarification and treatment on the Stroke Unit.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • De Morton Mobility Index (DEMMI)

    The de Morton Mobility Index (DEMMI) is an internationally well-established, unidimensional measure of mobility with good psychometric properties.

    On the first, the third day and 3 months after including in the study, the time for the DEMMI takes about 20 minutes

Interventions

GhrelinOTHER

The patients are assigned within the scope of the admission according to emergency to the treatment and clarification on the Stroke Unit of the KSW. There the patients are enclosed in the study and are examined according to the draught on the Stroke Unit within the scope of the complex treatment. The inclusion of the patients occurs after clarification and in the consent of the patients. In the morning after the admission day the decrease of the first blood test occurs within the scope of the blood sample as a matter of routine to be carried out for the Ghrelinbestimmung. Also 48 H occurs after the first withdrawal and 3 months after the stroke a blood sample to the regulation of Ghrelin.
