Abstract
Neurological morbidity is common after pediatric stroke, with moderate to severe deficits that can significantly impact education and social function. Care and recovery occur in phases distinguished by the time interval after stroke onset. These phases include the hyperacute and acute periods in which the focus is on cerebral reperfusion and prevention of neurological deterioration, followed by the subacute and chronic phases in which the focus is on secondary stroke prevention and mitigation of disability through rehabilitation, adaptation, and reintegration into the community. In this article, a multidisciplinary group of pediatric stroke experts review the stages of recovery after pediatric stroke with an emphasis on critical assessment time points. Our goal is to encourage increased standardization of outcome assessment to facilitate future clinical trials comparing various treatment and intervention options and advance optimized care for children with stroke.
