Abstract:
Objective To investigate the risk factors for acute ischemic stroke in patients with lower extremity atherosclerosis (LEA).Methods The consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to hospital within 7 d after onset were enrolled retrospectively.Color Doppler flow imaging was used to detect LEA.The demographic characteristics,vascular risk factors,and laboratory parameters were identified and analyzed.Results A total of 156 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled,including 138 with LEA.Univariate analysis showed that age (69.5± 11.8 years vs.60.4± 11.5 years;t =3.063,P =0.003) and the proportion of patients with hypertension (81.1％ vs,55.6％;x2 =2.467,P =0.014) in the LEA group were significantly higher than those in the non-LEA group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjustment for confounders such as gender,baseline systolic blood pressure,diabetes mellitus,and ischemic heart disease,age (odds ratio [OR] 1.059,95％ confidence interval [CI] 1.016-1.105;P=0.007),and hypertension (OR 3.128,95％ CI 1.084-9.026,P =0.035) were the independent risk factors for acute ischemic stroke complicated with LEA.Conclusions Age and hypertension are associated with acute ischemic stroke complicated with LEA.
