US Edition'Time is brain': Neurologist explains why Utah leads nation in stroke treatment time
- Researchers in Denmark studied 354 people aged 70 on average who had a transient ischemic attack and completed fatigue questionnaires at two weeks and three months.
- The study aimed to investigate fatigue after TIAs, challenging the belief that these events cause no lasting effects, though results do not prove causation.
- The study found that 61% reported fatigue two weeks after the event, and 54% continued experiencing fatigue at three months, with prior anxiety or depression linked to longer fatigue.
- According to lead author Boris Modrau, many participants in the study experienced prolonged fatigue, and those who reported fatigue shortly after hospital discharge were more likely to continue feeling fatigued for up to a year.
- The findings suggest clinicians should monitor TIA patients for lingering fatigue to identify those requiring further care, despite study limitations and lack of definite causality.
