Who is studied
This study will prospectively enroll consecutive patients aged 28 days to \<18 years with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) from approximately 25-35 participating centers across China. Eligible patients must have first-ever stroke with onset ≤7 days prior to admission, confirmed by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Both patients receiving standard medical therapy alone and those receiving endovascular treatment (including stent retrieval, aspiration thrombectomy, balloon angioplasty, stenting, or intra-arterial thrombolysis) will be included. Patients with lack of imaging confirmation, history of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, ischemic stroke caused by cerebral venous system, or concurrent indistinguishable ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke will be excluded. The study aims to enroll a target sample size of \>1000 patients.
