Complications from stroke, such as pneumonia or a secondary stroke, can shorten the lives of patients by an average of two years, researchers report. “Previous studies have already shown that post-stroke complications increase mortality as well as disability,” noted lead researcher Dr. Keun-Sik Hong, an associate professor in the department of neurology at Ilsan Paik Hospital, Goyang, South Korea. And the new study shows that “greater numbers of complications is associated with greater loss of healthy life years,” he said.
