BACKGROUND: To study the characteristics of vascular @entity2026 in a cohort of @entity1 with a first-ever @entity64 . METHODS: All @entity1 admitted to the Lausanne neurology department for a first-ever @entity64 between 1979 and 2004 were included. Neurological examination including language was performed on admission. @entity64 risk factors, @entity64 origin and location, associated symptoms and Rankin scale scores were recorded for each @entity1 . The influence of these factors on @entity2026 frequency and subtypes was analyzed using logistic regression models. RESULTS: 1,541 (26%) of @entity1 included in this study had @entity2026 . The more frequent clinical presentations were @entity13523 (38%) and mainly expressive @entity2026 (37%), whereas mainly receptive @entity2026 was less frequently observed (25%). In @entity385 , the frequency of @entity2026 increased with age (55% of nonaphasic vs. 61% of aphasic @entity1 were more than 65 years old), female sex (40% of @entity1 in the nonaphasia group vs. 44% in the @entity2026 group) and risk factors for cardioembolic origin ( @entity301 20 vs. 26% and @entity955 15 vs. 24%). @entity64 was more likely associated with superficial @entity2500 and leads to relevant disability. Clinical subtypes depended on @entity64 location and associated symptoms. Exceptions to the classic clinical-topographic correlations were not rare (26%). Finally, significant differences were found for @entity1 with crossed @entity2026 in terms of @entity64 origin and @entity2026 subtypes. CONCLUSIONS: Risk factors for @entity64 @entity2026 are age, cardioembolic origin and superficial @entity2500 . Exceptions to classic clinical-topographic correlations are not rare. @entity64 is associated with relevant disability. @entity64 location and associated symptoms strongly influence @entity2026 subtypes.
