Abstract

Objective: Acute ischemic stroke is a cause of long-term disability in developing countries. Intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (iv-tPA) is the most effective medical treatment shown to provide clinical improvement. Our aim in this study is to investigate the relationship between the clinical data of our patients treated with iv-tPA and the changes in serum inflammatory parameters; and to help increase the prevalence of treatment in secondary hospitals.

Methods: Forty-nine patients diagnosed as acute ischemic stroke and treated with iv-tPA at Siirt Research and Training Hospital between April 2019 and June 2020 were included in this study. Demographic and clinical findings, serum platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophyle/ lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and CRP/albumin ratio (CAR), radiological data, symptom-door-needle times, trombectomy, complication and mortality rates, pre and post treatment 7th day of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale Scores (NIHSS) and first and third-month of modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores, and prognosis were evaluated.

Results: The mean age was 71.2±13.7 years. Female-to-male ratio was almost 1. Decreases in the post-treatment NIHSS scores were statistically significant compared with the baseline (p<0.001). First month's mRS score was statistically decreased in the third month follow up significantly (p=0.002). There were significant differences between the baseline and post-treatment laboratory values. Significant increases in the values of NLR, and CAR were detected (p=0.012, p=0.009). Correlation analysis revealed significant positive correlations between post-treatment NIHSS and CAR, PLR, NLR. PLR and NLR were significantly correlated with the third month mRS score (p<0.001, p=0.011). Symptom-to-door time, door-to-needle time, and symptom-to-needle time were not correlated with the NIHSS and mRS scores.

Conclusion: It would be beneficial to treat the patients with iv-tPA in secondary-staged hospitals and should be widespread. Rapid treatment is sufficient and can reduce complications and poor outcomes. Elevated levels of NLR, PLR, and CAR predict modest consequences.

回顾性分析二级保健医院诊断为急性缺血性脑卒中并接受静脉溶栓治疗的患者资料。
目的:急性缺血性中风是发展中国家长期致残的原因之一。静脉注射组织型纤溶酶原激活剂(iv-tPA)是临床改善最有效的药物治疗方法。本研究的目的是探讨iv-tPA治疗患者的临床数据与血清炎症参数变化之间的关系;并帮助提高二级医院的治疗普及率。方法:纳入2019年4月至2020年6月在Siirt研究培训医院诊断为急性缺血性卒中并接受iv-tPA治疗的49例患者。评估人口统计学和临床表现、血清血小板/淋巴细胞比(PLR)、中性粒细胞/淋巴细胞比(NLR)和CRP/白蛋白比(CAR)、影像学资料、症状-门针次数、切开术、并发症和死亡率、治疗前和治疗后第7天美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表评分(NIHSS)和第1、3个月改良Rankin量表评分(mRS)以及预后。结果:患者平均年龄71.2±13.7岁。男女比例接近1。与基线相比,治疗后NIHSS评分下降有统计学意义(p)。结论:iv-tPA患者在二级医院治疗是有益的,应广泛推广。快速治疗是足够的,可以减少并发症和不良后果。NLR、PLR和CAR水平升高预示着中度后果。
