Acute Phase Neuronal Activity for the Prognosis of Stroke Recovery

Table 1

Demographic, clinical, and neuroradiological picture of the 120 monohemispheric MCA stroke patients.

	EEG ()						MEG ()						Comparison
Lesion side	Left			Right			Left			Right			EEG vs. MEG	L vs. R lesion
Number (% of EEG/MEG group)	46 (58%)			34 (42%)			24 (60%)			16 (40%)
Gender	Male		Female	Male	Female		Male	Female		Male	Female		0.694	0.849

NIHSS at T1; Median (5-95 perc.)	2 (0–18)			2 (0–11)			1 (0–8)			3 (0–10)			0.474	0.785
Effective recovery; Median (5-95 perc.)	70 (9–100)			73 (30–100)			83 (1–100)			67 (-22–100)			0.500	0.855

In the last 2 columns, values of the statistical test are shown, which were used to compare EEG vs. MEG groups and patients with the lesion in the left or in the right hemisphere; independent sample -test (age, ER), chi-square (gender, lesion class), and Mann-Whitney test (NIHSS in acute and stabilized phases).
