Unclear-onset stroke: Daytime-unwitnessed stroke vs. wake-up stroke

摘要

Background and purpose: The onset of wake-up stroke and daytime-unwitnessed stroke is unclear. Though the clinical importance is similar by both being excluded from reperfusion therapy, the characteristics of daytime-unwitnessed stroke are less known than that of wake-up stroke. Here, we compared the characteristics between daytime-unwitnessed stroke and wake-up stroke.
