This study aimed to investigate the major determinants for stroke evolution in patients with large AChA infarcts. Methods: We studied 118 consecutive adult patients with acute large AChA infarcts. The diagnosis was confirmed as abnormal hyperintensities in 3 or more rostracaudal magnetic resonance imaging slices (5 mm thickness) using diffusion-weighted imaging within typical AChA vascular regions. Stroke evolution was defined as neurologic deterioration with an increase in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score by at least 4 or an increase of NIHSS score in motor function by at least 2 in 7 days after stroke onset. Results: Forty-seven (39.8%) patients developed stroke evolution. Thrombolytic therapy was inversely associated with the occurrence of stroke evolution (P =.004). Using multivariate analysis, thrombolytic therapy was the only protective determinant for stroke evolution (adjusted odds ratio,.08; 95% confidence interval,.01 to.67). Patients with large AChA infarcts receiving thrombolytic therapy had less unfavorable long-term functional outcome than those not receiving thrombolytic therapy (adjusted odds ratio,.11; 95% confidence interval,.02-.75). Conclusions: Thrombolytic therapy is an only determinant factor for stroke evolution in large AChA infarcts, which reduced the risk of stroke evolution and improved functional outcome. ? 2014 by National Stroke Association. |
