Arterial ischemic stroke in infants, children, and adolescents: results of a Germany-wide surveillance study 2015-2017.

This study provides population-based data of childhood AIS which may be useful for further research. The improvement of acute stroke management is needed for children, but also the standardization of post-stroke care in the outpatient setting has to be structured. Considering the higher stroke incidence in (male) adolescents, it is advisable to combine research activities in adolescents and young adults.
