Abstract:
Objective:To assess the predictive factors and prognosis of post-stroke seizures.Methods:A total of 315 inpatients with acute anterior circulation cerebral infarction from January 2018 to December 2018 were retrospectively collected, including 95 patients with PSS as observation group and 220 patients without PSS as control group.Clinical characteristics of the patients were recorded, including gender, age, lesion specificity, imaging features, past history, and the time and type of seizures.The Alberta stroke program early CT score (ASPECTS) was used to assess the extent of infarction, the national institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS) and the modified rankin scale (MRS) were used to assess the severity and prognosis of cerebral infarction.The hemorrhage transformation of cerebral infarction was graded according to the European cooperative acute stroke study Ⅲ(ECASS Ⅲ) classification system.SPSS 21.0 software was used for data analysis.Chi-square test was used for categorical variables and t-test or non-parametric test was used for continuous variables. Results:The observation group had lower ASPECTS scores compared with the control group (5(4, 7), 7 (5, 8)), the presence of atrial fibrillation, hemorrhage transformation, laminar necrosis(LN) and hemosiderin deposition (31.6%, 45.3%, 24.2%, 26.3%) were higher than those of control group (20.9%, 28.2%, 9.1%, 16.4%), and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). In multivariate analysis, ASPECTS score ( OR=0.658, 95% CI=0.556-0.778, P<0.001), hemorrhage transformation ( OR=2.307, 95% CI=1.311-4.059, P=0.004), LN ( OR=2.530, 95% CI=1.250-5.123, P=0.010) and hemosiderin deposition ( OR=2.308, 95% CI=1.201-4.436, P=0.012) were the influencing factors of PSS.Partial secondary generalized seizures was the most common type of seizures, and in this group it accounted for 42.1% (40/95), simple partial seizures and complex partial seizures accounted for 12.6% (12/95)respectively, and generalized seizures accounted for 32.6% (31/95). The mean follow-up time of the two groups was 24.1 months and 24.6 months, respectively.The scores of MRS at the last follow-up and discharge (3(2, 4), 2(1, 4)) of the observation group were better than those of the control group (2(1, 3), 1(1, 3)), and the differences were statistically significant(both P<0.05). Conclusions:PSS after cerebral infarction can affect the prognosis of patients, and the large infarction scope, hemorrhage transformation, LN and hemosiderin deposition are the high risk factors of PSS.
