Stroke rehabilitation outcome. A potential use of predictive variables to establish levels of care.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Follow-up imaging is often performed in intracranial aneurysms that are not treated. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis on patient- and aneurysm-specific risk factors for aneurysm growth. METHODS:We searched EMBASE and MEDLINE for cohort studies describing risk factors for aneury...
