The values of the first 5 groups have been retrieved from our previous studies and reported here for comparison purposes.
As a response, researchers have also compared outcomes between stroke units and other wards in observational studies and reported mixed findings [22, 24, 25].
A recently published meta-analysis summarized the available studies and reported in patients with BCR an overall positivity rate of 76%[27]76%[27]
It has been observed that these results are one of the best results compared with results obtained from related previous studies and reported in the UCI web sites.
A recent meta-analysis [42] included 9330 patients published in 28 studies and reported a significant difference in the NAR, from 16.7 % when using clinical evaluation without imaging compared to 8.7 % with use of CT.

They collated data from 12 studies (838 patients from 3 RCTs and 571 patients from 9 observational studies) and reported that the relative risk of death was 0.81 (95% CI 0.62 1.06) in the RCTs and 0.59 (95% CI 0.45 0.77) in the observational studies.
A comprehensive review on hydrolysis from Zhang and Lynd (2004) compiled DS values from various studies and reported low DS values (1.3 2.2) for Avicel and high DS values (4.1 10) for cotton and bacterial cellulose from synergism of T. reeesi enzymes.
Another meta-analysis included 4341 patients (children and adults) from 31 studies and reported a pooled sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis of AA in children of 88%and94%94 %, respectively, for US studies and 94%and95%95 %, respectively, for CT studies.
A description of these studies and reported associations is provided in Table 1.
