Abstract
Background: This study investigates the prognostic value of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in magnetic resonance imaging for patients with acute posterior circulation stroke (PCS) undergoing endovascular therapy (EVT).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of patients with acute PCS from January 2017 to December 2021, confirmed by diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)-ADC within 24 hours of onset. Patients were categorized based on their 3-month modified Rankin Scale score after EVT. Data on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale at admission, ADC value, and 3-month modified Rankin Scale score were collected. Multivariable logistic regression analyzed the impact of various factors on ADC values. The receiver operating characteristic curve assessed predictive indices.
Results: Among 94 patients, 47 had a good prognosis and 47 had a poor prognosis. Univariate analysis showed that factors significantly associated with a good prognosis included lower National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale at admission, higher ADC values, smaller infarct areas, unilateral infarction, basilar artery occlusion, lower pons-midbrain-thalamus scores, intravenous thrombolysis, intra-arterial thrombolysis, and fewer perioperative complications (P < 0.05). Multivariable logistic regression identified high ADC values (P = 0.002) and unilateral infarction (P = 0.017) as independent predictive factors for prognosis. An ADC value >549 × 10-6 mm2/second was associated with a higher rate of good prognosis. Combining ADC values with unilateral infarction resulted in the highest area under the curve and Youden Index of 0.766, with sensitivity and specificity of 89.36% and 87.23%, respectively (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: High ADC values and unilateral infarction are independent predictive factors for the prognosis of patients with PCS after EVT. Combining these factors provides the highest predictive accuracy, aiding in clinical decision making for PCS treatment.
期刊介绍:
World Neurosurgery has an open access mirror journal World Neurosurgery: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The journal''s mission is to:
-To provide a first-class international forum and a 2-way conduit for dialogue that is relevant to neurosurgeons and providers who care for neurosurgery patients. The categories of the exchanged information include clinical and basic science, as well as global information that provide social, political, educational, economic, cultural or societal insights and knowledge that are of significance and relevance to worldwide neurosurgery patient care.
-To act as a primary intellectual catalyst for the stimulation of creativity, the creation of new knowledge, and the enhancement of quality neurosurgical care worldwide.
-To provide a forum for communication that enriches the lives of all neurosurgeons and their colleagues; and, in so doing, enriches the lives of their patients.
Topics to be addressed in World Neurosurgery include: EDUCATION, ECONOMICS, RESEARCH, POLITICS, HISTORY, CULTURE, CLINICAL SCIENCE, LABORATORY SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES, CLINICAL IMAGES, VIDEOS
