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 …

Prasad K, Krishnan PR. Fever is associated with doubling of odds of short‐term mortality in
ischemic stroke: an updated meta‐analysis. Acta Neurol Scand: 2010: 122: 404–408.© 2010 …

Background and Purpose No definitive data are yet available on the effects of body
temperature on neurological damage after cerebral ischemia in humans. Experimental …

Fever in the neurocritical care setting is common and has a negative impact on outcome of
all disease types. Meta-analyses have demonstrated that fever at onset and in the acute …

Background and Purpose—The association between hyperthermia and early neurological
deterioration, increased morbidity, and mortality in acute ischemic stroke is well known …

Background Fever suppression may be beneficial for patients with traumatic brain injury
(TBI) and stroke, but for patients with meningitis or encephalitis [central nervous system …

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 …

Object Fever and hypothermia (dysthermia) are associated with poor outcomes in patients
with brain injuries. The authors sought to study the epidemiology of dysthermia on …

Background and Purpose—The effect of pyrexia on cerebral ischemia has been extensively
studied in animals. In humans, however, such studies are small and the results conflicting …

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 …
