Abstract:
Objective To compare the clinical outcomes in elderly stroke patients with large artery atheroclerosis (LAA) and those with cardiogenic embolism (CE)-induced large vessel occlusion (LVO).Methods One hundred and twenty-two ≥65 years old sroke patients with LVO who underwent CT angiography or MR angiography in our hospital from June 2013 to June 2017 were divided into LAA group (n=62) and CE-induced LVO group (n =60) according to the TOAST Classification.Their NIHSS scores on admission and after discharge,good outcome after 3 months of stroke,recurrence rate and mortality of stroke were recorded and compared.Results No significant difference was found in the recurrence rate and mortality of stroke between the two groups (P>0.05).The good outcome rate was significantly higher while the NIHSS score at discharge was significantly lower in CE-induced LVO group than in LAA group (33.33% vs 17.74%,P=0.048;10.50±1.24 vs 11.83±1.53,P=0.001).No significant difference was found in the occlusion sites between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion The recovery of neurological function is poorer in stroke patients with LVO than in those with CE-induced LVO.However,no significant difference can be found in the recurrence rate and mortality of stroke between the two groups.
