Abstract:
Objective To explore the risk factors of early neurological deterioration(END)in patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI)based on the characteristics of computed tomography angiography(CTA)images of head and neck plaques.Methods A total of 218 ACI patients were selected,and according to whether END occurred within 72 h after onset,they were divided into an END group(54 cases)and non END group(164 cases).The clinical data and imaging indicators were compared and analyzed between the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze risk factors,and a nomograph prediction model was constructed and evaluated.Results National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score at admission ≥4 points,glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c)≥7.7％,severe or above ipsilateral carotid artery stenosis,and unstable plaque(soft plaque and mixed plaque)were the independent risk factors in END patients(P＜0.05).The result of nomograph prediction model showed that its discrimination,accuracy and effectiveness were better.Conclusion NIHSS score at admission,HbA1c level,ipsilateral carotid artery stenosis degree,and plaque type are all independent influencing factors for the occurrence of END.
