However, the results need a cautious interpretation due to selection bias, treatment bias and different patients’ characteristics. Moreover, randomized studies that prove a benefit of weight reduction are still lacking. As obesity is an independet risk factor for stroke, weight reduction should still be recommended in overweight patients. Randomized-controlled studies are needed to prove the effect of weight reduction on morbidity and mortality after stroke.deAdipositasHirnschlagMortalitätThrombolysemorbidité et mortalité post accident vasculaire cérébralmortalityoberityobésitéoverweightrisque cardiovasculairestrokesurcharge pondéralethrombolysisÜbergewicht600 - Technology::610 - Medicine & healtharticle10.7892/boris.878072738130810.1024/1661-8157/a002408
