- Abstract
Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston MA, United States of America Ischemic stroke is an etiologically heterogeneous disorder. Classification of ischemic stroke etiology into categories with discrete phenotypic, therapeutic and prognostic features is indispensible to generate consistent information from stroke research. In addition, a functional classification of stroke etiology is critical to ensure unity among physicians and comparability among studies. There are two major approaches to etiologic classification in stroke. Phenotypic systems define subtypes by providing a summary of abnormal test results organized in major etiologic categories. Causative systems, on the other hand, integrate diagnostic test results and clinical stroke features through a decision-making process to identify the most likely etiology. This article intends to provide a review on the important historical, theoretical and practical aspects of etiologic stroke classification and the current classification systems.
