This observational study is designed to evaluate and compare the recovery outcomes of patients who have experienced their first acute stroke. Specifically, it looks at how receiving care in a specialized Stroke Unit compares to receiving care in a conventional hospital neurology ward.
Researchers will observe 140 adult patients admitted to Assiut University Hospital within 48 hours of their stroke symptoms starting. Patients will be observed in two distinct groups of 70 based on their admission setting:
The study will track the patients' progress by measuring their independence in daily activities, physical disability levels, and cognitive (thinking) skills. Assessments will happen when they are discharged from the hospital, and then again at 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months after they go home to evaluate their overall recovery, complications, and mortality rates.
The study population consists of adult patients (aged 18 years and older) who present with an acute, first-ever stroke (either ischemic or hemorrhagic). Patients must be admitted to the hospital within 48 hours of their initial symptom onset. The population will be recruited from admissions to either the general Neurology inpatient wards or the specialized Stroke Unit within the Neurology and Psychiatry, and Neurosurgery departments at Assiut University Hospital over a 6-month duration.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.
Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.
The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

Patients admitted to the stroke unit for acute stroke management. Core interventions include care managed by a specialized multi-professional team consisting of vascular neurologists, specialized stroke nurses, neuro-physiotherapists, and clinical pharmacists. Care also involves continuous non-invasive cardiac, telemetry, and hemodynamic tracking for at least the initial 24-48 hours, evidence-based early mobilization protocols, and standardized integrated clinical pathways focusing on early dysphagia screening, rapid glycemic control, and strict normothermia management.
Patients confirmed to have an acute stroke who are admitted directly to neurology wards for acute stroke management. Care components include standard medical workup, generalized nursing management, and intermittent monitoring of vital signs dictated by routine ward shift protocols. On-call or scheduled consultations from physical therapy are requested on an ad-hoc, case-by-case basis.
Degree of Functional Dependence Using the Barthel Index
The Barthel Index measures a patient's degree of independence in daily activity performance. Possible scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a higher degree of independence (better outcome)
Time frame: Baseline (on admission)
