Background: Blood pressure variability (BPV) is associated with target organ damage progression and increased cardiovascular events, including stroke. The aim of this study was to evaluate the associations between short-term BPV during acute periods and recanalization degree, early neurological deterioration (END) occurrence, and functional outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients who had undergone intra-arterial thrombectomy (IAT). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 303 patients with large vessel occlusive stroke who underwent IAT. The following BPV parameters, measured over 24 and 48 h after IAT, were compared: the mean, SD, coefficient of variation (CV), variation independent of the mean (VIM) for both the systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP, and the proportion of nocturnal SBP risers. Results: BPV parameters decreased with higher recanalization degree. The mean SBP (SBPmean) over 24 and 48 h after IAT, and the SD of SBP (SBPSD), CV of SBP (SBPCV), and VIM of SBP (SBPVIM) during the 48 h following the procedure had significant associations with recanalization degree. Patients with END had higher BPV than that of those without END, and the difference was more evident for incomplete recanalization. Increased BPV was associated with a shift toward poor functional outcome at 3 months after adjustment, including recanalization degree (OR range for significant parameters, 1.26–1.64, p = 0.006 for 48 h SBPmean, p = 0.003 for 48 h SBPCV, otherwise p < 0.002). Conclusions: Short-term BPV over 24 and 48 h after IAT in acute ischemic stroke patients was related to recanalization degree, and END occurrence, and may be an independent predictor of clinical outcome.

ABSTRACT:Objectives:The association between blood pressure (BP) and short-term clinical outcome of acute ischemic stroke is inconclusive. We investigated the association between BP in the first 72 hours following admission and death in-hospital and neurologic deficiency at discharge among patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods:A total of 2675 acute ischemic stroke patients confirmed by a computed tomography scan or magnetic resonance imaging were included in the present study. Blood pressure in the first 72 hours after admission and other study variables were collected for all ischemic stroke patients. Neurological functions National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) were evaluated by trained neurologists at discharge. The study outcome was defined as death in-hospital and neurologic deficiency (NIHSS≥10) at discharge.Results:Systolic and diastolic BP were significantly and positively associated with odds of study outcome in acute ischemic stroke. For example, compared to those with a systolic BP<140 mmHg, multiple-adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of study outcome was 3.29(1.22, 8.90) among participants with systolic BP of 180-219 mmHg,P<0.05; compared to those with a diastolic BP<90 mmHg, multiple-adjusted odds ratio of study outcome was 7.05(1.32, 37.57) among participants with diastolic BP ≥ 120 mmHg,P<0.05.Conclusion:Systolic BP≥180 and diastolic BP≥120 were significantly and positively associated with death in-hospital or neurologic deficiency at discharge among patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Background: Increased blood pressure variability (BPV) is detrimental in the weeks to months after ischemic stroke, but it has not been adequately studied in the acute phase. We hypothesized that increased BPV in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients would be associated with worse outcome. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed inpatients at our hospital between 2010-2014 with an ICD-9 code of AIS; 213 were confirmed to have AIS by a vascular neurologist. A modified Rankin Score (mRS) after discharge was available in 148/213, at a mean of 86 ± 60 days. In 45/213 the discharge mRS was either 0 or 6, in which case they were included in the final analysis. BPV was measured as the standard deviation (SD) of each patient’s systolic blood pressure readings during the first 24 hours and 5 days of hospitalization (9,844 total readings), or until discharge if discharged in <5 days (Figure 1). The SBP SD was further divided in quartiles. A multivariate ordinal logistic regression with the outcome of mRS, the primary predictor of quartiles of SBP SD, and baseline NIH stroke scale (NIHSS) to control for initial stroke severity. Results: Mean±SD age was 64.2 ± 16.3 years, NIHSS was 12.6 ± 7.9, and mRS was 2.7 ± 2.1. The mean SBP SDs for the first 24 hours and 5 days were 12.1 ± 6.2 mm Hg and 14.1 ± 4.9 mm Hg. In the ordinal logistic regression model, the quartiles of SBP SD for the first 24 hours and 5 days were positively associated with higher mRS (OR = 1.37, 95% CI 1.01 - 1.74, p = 0.009; OR = 1.30, 95% CI 1.03 - 1.63, p = 0.028). This effect became even more pronounced in patients with the highest quartile of variability (OR = 2.76, 95% CI 1.29 - 5.88, p = 0.009; OR = 2.10, 95% CI 1.01 - 4.36, p = 0.046). Conclusion: In our cohort of 193 patients with AIS, there was a significant association between increased systolic BPV and worse functional outcome, after controlling for initial stroke severity. This data suggests that increased BPV may have a harmful effect for AIS patients, which warrants a prospective observational study.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused millions of deaths worldwide. Acute ischemic stroke is a life-threatening risk factor for COVID-19 infection. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is one of the predictors of poor prognosis in acute ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between NLR values and the clinical outcome of acute thrombotic stroke patients with COVID-19 that was measured using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). A cross-sectional hospital-based study was conducted in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya, Indonesia. Patients with acute thrombotic stroke and COVID-19 admitted between 1 March 2020 and 31 May 2021 were recruited. The NLR values and the NIHSS scores were assessed during the admission and the correlation between NLR and NIHSS scores was calculated. This study included 21 patients with acute thrombotic stroke and COVID-19, consisting of 12 males and 9 females. The mean age was 57.6 years old. The mean NLR values was 8.33±6.7 and the NIHSS scores ranging from 1 to 33. Our data suggested a positive correlation between NLR values and NIHSS scores, r=0.45 with p=0.041. In conclusion, the NLR value is potentially to be used as a predictor of the clinical outcome in acute thrombotic stroke patients with COVID-19. However, further study is warranted to validate this finding.

Background: Variability in blood pressure is a predictor of stroke severity and causes of poor functional outcome. Blood pressure variability is one of the main predictor of the prognosis acute ischemic stroke. Blood pressure variability were independently and linearly associated with the development of early neurologic deterioration (END) in acute ischemic stroke Objective: To determine the association between blood pressure variability and END in acute ischemic stroke patients. Method: This study uses a cross sectional design. Sampling was conducted at H. Adam Malik General Hospital Medan. Samples were taken as many as 40 subjects consecutively. Blood pressure checks were perform every hour for 72 hours then an assessment of the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at admission and the third day of treatment. Data analysis used fisher’s exact test. Results: The demographic characteristics of the study subjects were an average age of 56-<71 years, high school education level, housewife occupation and Batak ethnicity. The mean of maximum systolic blood pressure (SBP) was 151±12.16 mmHg, minimum SBP 123.15±18 mmHg, delta SBP 25.35±10.66 mmHg, maximum diastolic blood pressure (DBP) 79.7±6.01 mmHg, minimum DBP 61.77±7.32 mmHg and delta DBP 17.97±8.48 mmHg. The NIHSS day 1 score had an average of 9.55±6.73, the NIHSS day 3 score was 11.25±7.93. Most subjects experienced END. There is a significant relationship between blood pressure variability and END with a p of 0.03 (p<0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between blood pressure variability and END in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Abstract Objectives We aimed to Detect if there is association between serum albumin level in acute ischemic stroke patients and its short term neurological and functional outcome in a tertiary care hospital in Cairo. Methods The study was carried out as descriptive (cross-sectional) study conducted on 50 cases first-ever acute ischemic stroke patients were enrolled between June 2018 to December 2018 with follow up after 30 days of discharge from hospital. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were strictly exercised. National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and modified Rankin scale (mRS) score was noted. Serum albumin (SA) was estimated from blood Clinical, functional, and radiological evaluation was done for the patients. Statistical SPSS 20.0 software and Microsoft excel were used for statistical analysis (P ≤ 0.05).Relationship between serum albumin and stroke outcome was determined. Results A total of 50 stroke cases were thus included in the study comprising 34 males and 16 females. The mean age of patients was 40-65 [59.26±6.25] years, we found the most prevalent risk factors in the present study results were hypertension 36 (72.0%). The mean serum level of albumin were (3.73±0.63) on day o of onset and (3.72±0.63) after 30 days of discharge from hospital. Bivariate analysis shows serum albumin was inversely associated with NIHS score and mRS on day o of onset and after 30 days of discharge from hospital which were NIHSS(r= -0.264, P = 0.044) (r= -0.645, P = &lt;0.001) and mrs (r= -0.321, P = 0.031) (r= -0.587, P = &lt;0.001) respectively. Conclusion Hypoalbuminemia had influence to degree of stroke severity, degree of disability and functional outcome. Serum albumin levels had a negatively correlation with NIHSS score and modified Rankin scale. Low serum albumin levels associated with poor prognosis in acute ischemic stroke patients.
