Official title: Obstructive Sleep Apnea as a Risk Factor for Ischaemic Stroke , a Prospective Study

Obstructive sleep apnoea is a risk factor for ischaemic stroke. study hypothesis: In prospective study the investigators want to know how many ischaemic stroke patients have sleep apnoea and does thrombolysis play a role in severity of osa in six months follow up.

Read the detailed description

In prospective study the investigators include all over 18 years old patients who came to emergency room for ischaemic stroke. Exclusion criteria is not able to co-operate or need for intensive care unit.The investigators shall take 100 control patients who have ischaemic stroke and no thrombolysis and 100 study patients who will have thrombolysis. The investigators do sleep registration during hospital staying within 2 days after patients have felt ill.Follow-up registration will be done after 6 months at home.
