Objective To explore the potential prognostic factors of patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS)after undergoing endovascular mechanical thrombectomy and to construct an effective predictive model.Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data was conducted on 202 patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion AIS from 2 stroke centers.All patients received endovascular mechanical thrombectomy treatment,with treatment and follow-up lasting at least 90 d.Basic demographic characteristics,medical records,and baseline blood biomarker data were collected,and the potential prognostic indicators for AIS after 90 d were screened using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)-logistic regression analysis.Results It was found that alcohol drinking(P=0.029),hypertension(P=0.001),diabetes mellitus(P=0.021),stroke or transient ischemic attack(P=0.049),systolic blood pressure on admission(P=0.009),diastolic blood pressure on admission(P=0.038),blood glucose(P=0.003),white blood cell count(P=0.001),neutrophil count(P=0.001),fibrinogen(P=0.010),systemic immune-inflammation index(P=0.008)and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)(P<0.001)were associated with adverse clinical outcomes.Nine significant prognostic determinants were screened through LASSO-logistic regression analysis.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that male sex(P=0.008),smoking history(P=0.013),hypertension(P=0.011),lymphocyte(P=0.028),fibrinogen(P=0.016),and NLR(P<0.001)were significant predictive factors for poor prognosis in AIS patients after endovascular thrombectomy treatment.The constructed prognostic model had an accuracy of 76.2%,a sensitivity of 78.2%,a specificity of 71.7%,and a positive predictive value of 86.7%.Conclusion The predictive model established in this study can assist clinicians in identifying high-risk patients with AIS who have undergone endovascular thrombectomy,and it provide guidance for formulating individualized treatment strategies.

Objective:To analyze the effect of traditional Chinese medicine emotional nursing combined with scenario-based cognitive function training in patients with cognitive impairment secondary to stroke, providing a practical reference for improving patients′cognitive function, anxiety and depressive mood, ability to live and quality of life.Methods:This study was a quasi experimental study. The 106 patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) admitted to Zhuhai People′s Hospital (Jinan University Affiliated Zhuhai Hospital) between January 2019 and October 2021 were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly divided into the control group and the observation group (53 cases in each group). The control group used conventional cognitive function training and the observation group used traditional Chinese medicine emotional care combined with scenario-based cognitive function training. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores, Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE) scores, Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores, Self-ratingAnxiety Scale (SAS) scores, self-care rate (assessed byActivity of Daily Living scale, ADL), and Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74(GQOLI-74) scores were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention.Results:After the intervention, the MoCA and MMSE scores of the observation group were 24.34 ± 2.18 and 25.98 ± 4.16, which were higher than the 20.41 ± 3.16 and 22.18 ± 4.21 in the control group, the differences were significant ( t = - 7.45, - 4.67, both P<0.05). The SDS and SAS scores of the observation group were 24.46 ± 3.46 and 27.18 ± 3.31, which were lower than the 39.15 ± 4.15 and 39.87 ± 4.70 in the control group, the differences were significant ( t = 16.07, 19.79, both P<0.05). The self-care rate in the observation group was 94.34% (50/53) higher than 81.13% (43/53) in the control group, the difference was significant ( χ2 = 4.30, P<0.05). The quality of life in the four dimensions of physical life, social functioning, psychological functioning, and somatic functioning in the observation group were (85.88 ± 4.14), (71.85 ± 4.10), (82.77 ± 3.44) and (88.51 ± 4.79) points, which were higher than the (73.48 ± 4.11), (66.48 ± 3.57), (75.49 ± 3.80) and (79.54 ± 4.60) points in the control group, the differences were significant ( t values were - 15.48 - - 7.19, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Traditional Chinese medicine emotional nursing combined with scenario-based cognitive function training can improve cognitive function, anxiety and depression in patients with cognitive impairment secondary to stroke, and improve patients′ability to live and quality of life level.
