Background and Purpose—Many studies associate fever with poor outcome in patients with
neurological injury, but this relationship is blurred by divergence in populations and …

Previous studies showed that elevated body temperature early after ischemic stroke is
associated with severe neurological deficit and a poor outcome. The aim of this study was to …

Background and Purpose—Several studies have claimed that temperature on admission is
of prognostic significance in acute stroke. Experimental studies showing that hyperthermia …

Background In laboratory animals, cerebral ischaemia is worsened by hyperthermia and
improved by hypothermia. Whether these observations apply to human beings with stroke is …

Background and Purpose—Body temperature is considered crucial in the management of
acute stroke patients. Recently hypothermia applied as a therapy for stroke has been …

OBJECTIVE: In patients with traumatic or ischemic brain injury, hyperthermia is thought to
worsen the neurological injury. We studied fever in the neurosurgical intensive care unit …
