Objective? To understand the self-management status among elderly chronic heart failure (CHF) patients and to compare the regional differences of self-management. Methods? By random cluster sampling, we investigated 6 124 elderly CHF patients from 102 hospitals in five regions, East China (Jiangxi Province, Shanghai Municipality, Zhejiang Province), West China (Qinghai Province, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Shaanxi Province, Gansu Province, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Yunnan Province), South China (Hainan Province, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region), North China (Heilongjiang Province, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region), Central China (Henan Province, Hubei Province, Hunan Province). The investigation result statistics were carried out and regional differences were compared. Results? The self-management of elderly CHF patients had a low to medium level with 61.25% (49/80) <80% for the scoring rate. The scores of East China and Central China were higher and the score of West China was low; the regional differences were statistical (H=59.07, P<0.01). The score of diet management was highest with 66.67% for the scoring rate (8/12); East China had the highest score, and West China had the lowest score; the regional differences were statistical (H=92.49, P<0.01). The scoring rate of medication management was 65.00% (13/20) with the highest in East China and low in North China and West China; the regional differences were statistical (H=351.10, P<0.01). Mental/social adjustment management was poor with 60.00% (12/20) for the scoring rate; the scores of Ease China were higher than those of North and West China; the regional differences were statistical (H=8.84, P<0.01). Symptom management was the worst with 57.14% (16/28) for the scoring rate; the scores of East and Central China were high;the regional differences were also statistical (H=17.62,P<0.01). Conclusions? Self-management of elderly CHF patients needs to be improved. Systematic and targeted health education for different regions should be carried out to improve patients' self-management and to reduce the disease burden.

Objective:To investigate the early predictive factors of periprocedural thrombus migration and the relationship between periprocedural thrombus migration and prognosis after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in stroke patients.Methods:The patients with anterior circulation acute large vessel occlusion stroke (ALVOS) who underwent MT in the Stroke Center of Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College from May 2015 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The baseline characteristics, procedural and clinical outcomes were collected. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors of thrombus migration and the relationship between thrombus migration and prognosis of patients.Results:There were 302 ALVOS patients [(68.8±11.0) years old and 166 males (55.0%)] included, of whom thrombus migration was identified in 80 patients (26.5%), including 60 cases (75.0%) of proximal migration. Cardiogenic stroke ( OR=2.722, 95% CI 1.367-5.418, P=0.004) and clot burden score (CBS; OR=0.849, 95% CI 0.745-0.968, P=0.015) were independent risk factors of thrombus migration. Proximal migration ( OR=2.822, 95% CI 1.220-6.528, P=0.015) was an independent risk factor of 90-day clinical outcome, while the effect of distal migration on 90-day clinical outcome was not statistically significant. Conclusions:Cardiogenic stroke and lower CBS score are independent predictors of periprocedural thrombus migration in ALVOS patients who underwent MT. Proximal migration is an independent risk factor for the prognosis of patients, which has important clinical intervention significance.

Objective:To explore the influence of blood pressure (BP) profiles 24 h after early endovascular treatment (EVT), including mean blood pressure and blood pressure variability, in clinical prognoses of patients with acute large vessel occlusion stroke (ALVOS) of anterior circulation 90 d after EVT.Methods:Clinical data and blood pressure profiles of patients with ALVOS of anterior circulation who received EVT in our hospital from July 2014 to February 2019 were prospectively collected. The 90-d modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores were used as clinical prognosis evaluation, and modified thrombdysis in cerebral infarction (mTICI) was used as evaluation criteria for recanalization of postoperative occlusive blood vessels. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent influencing factors for prognoses 90 d after EVT.Results:(1) Two hundred and sixteen patients were collected; 159 patients were with successful recanalization and 57 patients were with unsuccessful recanalization; 90 d after EVT, 95 patients (44%) had good prognosis and 121 patients (56%) had poor prognosis. As compared with patients in the good prognosis group, patients in the poor prognosis group had signficantly advanced age, signficantly higher proportion of patients with atrial fibrillation, signficantly higher baseline NIHSS scores, and signficantly lower baseline ASPECT scores ( P<0.05); and the differences of occlusion locus were statistically significant between patients from the good and poor prognosis groups ( P<0.05). Patients in the poor prognosis group had significantly higher baseline systolic blood pressure (SBP), mean SBP, max SBP, and significantly higher standard deviation, variable coefficient, and continuous variation of SBP, and statistically higher standard deviation, variable coefficient, and continuous variation of diastolic blood pressure (DBP) as compared with those in the good prognosis group ( P<0.05). Multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that the standard deviation and continuous variation of SBP were independent influencing factors for clinical prognoses 90 d after EVT ( OR=1.116, 95%CI: 1.002-1.243, P=0.047; OR=1.116, 95%CI: 1.016-1.227, P=0.022). (2) In patients with successful recanalization, as compared with patients in the good prognosis subgroup, patients in the poor prognosis subgroup had signficantly advanced age, statistically higher proportions of patients with diabetes mellitus and atrial fibrillation and baseline NIHSS scores, and statistically lower baseline ASPECT scores ( P<0.05); and the differences of occlusion locus and first choices of treatment were statistically significant between patients in the good and poor prognosis subgroups ( P<0.05). Patients in the poor prognosis subgroup had significantly higher baseline SBP and max SBP, and significantly higher standard deviation, variable coefficient, and continuous variation of SBP, and statistically higher variable coefficient of DBP as compared with those in the good prognosis subgroup ( P<0.05). Multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed the standard deviation, variable coefficient, and continuous variation of SBP were independent influencing factors for clinical prognoses 90 d after EVT ( OR=1.164, 95%CI: 1.021-1.326, P=0.023; OR=1.191, 95%CI: 1.007-1.409, P=0.041; OR=1.141, 95%CI: 1.018-1.279, P=0.024). However, in patients with unsuccessful recanalization, there were no significant differences in blood pressure proliles between the good prognosis subgroup and poor prognosis subgroup ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The blood pressure variability 24 h after EVT is correlated with the clinical prognoses of patients with ALVOS of anterior circulation 90 d after EVT.
