Objective: To determine short-term functional outcome in patients with specific subtypes of ischemic stroke at Clinic for neurology of the Clinical Hospital Center Osijek. Study design: Cross-sectional study. Participants and methods: One hundred patients with acute ishemic stroke, who were treated at the Clinic for Neurology of the Clinical Hospital Center Osijek in the period from 2017 to 2018, participated in the research. Every patient provided information such as: age, sex, and subcategory of acute ishemic stroke based on TOAST classification. What was tested in the research was the representation of different complications in acute phase of the stroke. The degree of disability that occured after the stroke was estimated by a modified Rankin scale (mRS). Results: After the treatment 28 (28 %) participants had a mild neurological deficit or no neurological problems, 40 (40 %) participants had a moderate neurological deficit, 26 (26 %) participants had a severe neurological deficit and 6 (6 %) participants passed away. The most common complications were urinary infection (40 %), depression (25 %) and pneumonia (16 %). Pneumonia occurs more with patients suffering from cardioembolic stroke and pressure ulcers occur with patients suffering from large vessel stroke. In small vessel stroke, majority of participants had not suffered significant handicap, while in large vessel stroke or cardioembolic stroke a significant number of participants had died. Conclusion: The study shows a good short-term functional outcome according to the modified Rankin scale in patients with certain ischemic stroke subtypes, particularly stroke of small blood vessels, with relatively low mortality. The most common complications affecting the short-term outcome are urinary infection, depression and pneumonia.
