    Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) significantly impacts early neurological recovery following acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

  • 2

    Higher total CSVD burden and specific systemic clinical phenotypes are linked to unfavorable neurological outcomes at discharge.

  • 3

    In a study of 474 AIS patients, 6.5% experienced unfavorable outcomes, with lacunar infarction showing the strongest association.

  • 4

    Hyperhomocysteinemia and a TCM-defined Phlegm-Heat Fu-Excess phenotype were independently associated with poor outcomes.

    Further research is needed to validate these findings in larger, prospective multicenter studies for better risk stratification.
