Abstract:
Objective To investigate the related factors of early adverse outcomes in young patients with ischemic stroke.Methods From January 2006 to June 2016,685 young patients (18-45 years old) with acute ischemic stroke admitted to the Department of Neurology,Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Command were enrolled retrospectively.They were diagnosed as the first onset with head CT or MRI.According to the modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 90 d,the patients were divided into a favorable outcome (mRS 0-2) group (n=554) and a poor outcome (mRS 3-6) group (n=131).The collection of clinical data were completed on the day of admission,including the risk factors for cerebrovascular disease (oral contraceptives,etc),the National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) score on admission,the mean systolic blood pressure (>140 mmHg was analyzed) and laboratory examination.The stroke subtypes were classified with the trial of org 10172 in acute stroke treatment (TOAST) classification criteria.Univariate analysis was used to analyze the difference of clinical data between groups,and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for early poor outcomes.Results Compared with the favorable outcome group,the patients with the ratio of mean systolic pressure >140 mmHg in the first 3 d after hospitalization (37.4% [49/131] vs.21.7% [120/554],χ2=14.131),NIHSS score on admission (10.0 [7.0,14.0] vs.1.5 [0,3.0],Z=-15.300),white blood cell count (7.5 [6.0,9.0] ×109/L vs.6.8 [5.7,8.2] ×109/L,Z=-3.157),fasting glucose (4.9 [4.6,6.0] mmol/L vs.4.8 [4.4,5.3] mmol/L,Z=-2.726),higher fibrinogen level (2.8 [2.3,3.4] g/L vs.2.6 [2.3,3.2] g/L,Z=-2.018,blood uric acid level (291[220,346] mmol/L vs.315 [261,374] mmol/L,Z=-3.443),and plasma albumin level (43.1[40.0,45.9] g/L vs.44.8 [42.4,47.4] g/L,Z=-4.708) were decreased in the poor outcome group.There were significant differences between the two groups (all P<0.05).TOAST classification comparison:the proportion of the patients with cardioembolism in the poor outcome group was higher than that in the favorable outcome group.There was significant difference between the two groups (6.9% [9/131] vs.2.5% [14/554];χ2=4.893,P<0.05).There were no significant differences in the remaining clinical data between the two groups (all P>0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the higher NIHSS score on admission (OR,1.474,95%CI 1.378-1.576,P<0.01),the mean systolic pressure >140 mmHg at the first 3 d after admission (OR,2.134,95%CI 1.210-3.764,P=0.009) and the cardioembolism(OR,4.902,95%CI 1.073-22.222,P=0.040) were the risk factors for early poor outcome,and the elevated plasma albumin level (OR,0.902,95%CI 0.850-0.956,P=0.001) was a protective factor of early favorable outcome.Conclusion The higher NIHSS score at admission,the cardioembolism and the increased mean systolic blood pressure in the first 3 d after admission may result in early poor outcome in young patients with ischemic stroke,while the elevated plasma albumin level is beneficial to the early outcome.
