A member asked:
What is the prognosis for a 75 yr old who had a massive stroke and now has mrsa infection in his finger bone? copd,alcoholism, atrial fibrillation
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too many variables: There are so many variable regarding prognosis after stroke, and the presence of associated diseases creates even more variables. There are tables regarding degrees of consciousness and outcome, but these are not definitive even if they are historically relevant. Suggest you speak to the treating physician(s) involved in care and have most of the historical information.
