A study initiated and conducted by a researcher, with international cooperation, organized regionally, multicentre, prospective, randomized in groups, crossed, with blind evaluation of results that compared the effectiveness of the flat head position (0 \u00b0) with the semi sitting position (\u2265 30 \u00b0) in the first 24 hours of hospitalization in patients with acute stroke with the worst result of death or disability in the following 90 days. This study was completed and its main results were published on June 22, 2017 in the New England Journal of Medicine. We observed an absence of difference in the two positions analyzed in relation to functional outcomes and death in 3 months. HeadPoST results will influence clinical practice guidelines in the management of acute stroke patients.<\/p>\n
