What is the average life span after a major stroke due to ischemia?

Depends: Most causes of death after a major stroke are due to complications from the immobility a stroke causes. People that are no longer ambulatory are at risk for pneumonia, urinary tract infections, bed sores, clots in the legs and many other things that can cause serious illness. Even with the best care, any of these things can occur.

Variable: Causation of stroke may affect life expectation. Severity of stroke, location of damage, age and co-morbidities are significant determinants. Very important in mortality is the presence or absence of depression, which is common and must be treated for best results. Strong social support network is very beneficial.
