The outcome of cerebrovascular disease in the elderly, defined as persons 70 years of age and over, and in the non-elderly, those under 70 years, was compared. Fifty-one consecutive elderly and 156 non-elderly patients were studied. The patients in each group were classified according to type of cerebrovascular event: intracerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, or subarachnoid hemorrhage. Patients were evaluated by using the Glasgow Outcome Scale both at the time discharge and 6 months later. The elderly patients were more severely disabled at the time of discharge than the non-elderly patients. The number of patients evaluated as "good recovery" or "moderate disability" had increased at the 6-month follow-up examination in the non-elderly patients, whereas the condition of many of the elderly patients had declined. The death rate of the elderly at the time of discharge and 6 months later was 17.6% and 52.0%, respectively, as opposed to 13.5% and 18.8% in the non-elderly group. The outcome of cerebrovascular disease was much worse in the elderly patients than in the non-elderly patients. Patient age and status at discharge were important predictors of the clinical course.
