Risk Factors of Pneumonia in Acute Stroke at Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung Abstract Background and Objective:Pneumonia is the most common non neurological complications in acute stroke (22%) that increase mortality rate, length of stay and hospitalization cost. It is necessary to identified risk factors for pneumonia including neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) for better prevention and early intervention. The purpose of this study is to determine risk factors of pneumonia (including NPE) in acute stroke patients at Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung. Subject and Methods: Prospective observational descriptive study, consecutive sampling method, during September – October 2019. Primary data collected from acute stroke patients such as stroke severity, type, location and size of stroke, treatment during hospitalizataion, comorbidities (including NPE). Pneumonia was diagnosed based on Central for Disease Control Prevention (CDC) criteria, NPE based on Davison criteria. Results: 30 patients (28.3%) with pneumonia in acute stroke patients. Pneumonia were commonly found in NGT insertion (90%), dysphagia (64,71%), total anterior circulation infarct (TACI) (61,54%), large infarct size (61,54%), GCS 9-12 (50%) and NIHSS 16-20 (50%). NPE only found in 6,60% acute stroke patients, 57,14% of them developed pneumonia. Conclusions: Pneumonia in acute stroke patients is more often found in NGT insertion, dysphagia, TACI location, large infarct size, lower GCS and more severe stroke degree.

The Impact

Background: Risk factors for stroke may alter hemodynamics or invoke ischemic preconditioning, yet the impact of such factors on response to acute stroke treatment and the potential relationship with collateral circulation remains unknown. Methods: Consecutive cases enrolled in the International Multicenter Registry for Mechanical Recanalization Procedures in Acute Stroke (ENDOSTROKE) were analyzed with respect to collateral status on baseline angiography before endovascular therapy. ASITN/SIR collateral grade (0-1/2/3-4) was scored by the core lab, blind to all other data. Collateral grade was analyzed with respect to numerous baseline risk factors, demographics and outcomes after endovascular intervention. Results: 109 patients (median age 69 years (25 th , 75 th percentiles: 56, 77); 51% women; median baseline NIHSS 15 (13, 18)) with complete (TICI 0) anterior circulation occlusions (M1, n=71; ICA, n=28; M2, n=10) at baseline were evaluated based on collateral grade (0-1, n=12; 2, n=41; 3-4, n=56). Worse collaterals were noted in patients with atrial fibrillation (ASITN grades 0-1/2/3-4: 21%/30%/49%) as compared to patients without atrial fibrillation (5%/42%/53%, p=0.024), yet cardioembolic stroke etiology was unrelated. Other baseline features such as age, gender, time to presentation, other co-morbidities and labs were unrelated to collateral grade. Post-procedure reperfusion (TICI 2b-3) was significantly associated with better collaterals (OR 2.58 (1.343-4.957, p=0.004). Similarly, final infarct size was significantly smaller in those with better collaterals. Good clinical outcomes (mRS 0-2 at day 90) were less frequent in those with poorer collaterals (OR 0.403 (0.199-0.813, p=0.011). Conclusions: Atrial fibrillation, but not cardioembolic stroke etiology, is associated with worse collaterals. Hemodynamic implications, such as diminished cardiac output due to atrial fibrillation, may result in less favorable outcomes after endovascular therapy for acute stroke.

ABSTRACT. Various mechanisms contribute to dementia after first ischemic stroke as lesions on strategic areas of cognition and stroke premorbidity. Objectives: Assessing clinical and neuroimaging predictors of dementia after first ischemic stroke and its relation to stroke location, subtypes and severity. Methods: Eighty first ischemic stroke patients were included. Forty patients with dementia after first stroke and forty patients without dementia according to DSM-IV diagnostic criteria of vascular dementia. All patients were subjected to general and neurological assessment, National Institute Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) for stroke severity, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale for cognition assessment, MRI brain and Trial of Org 10172 in acute stroke treatment (TOAST) classification for stroke subtypes. Results: Left hemispheric ischemic stroke, strategic infarctions, diabetes mellitus and stroke of anterior circulation were found to be independent risk factors for dementia after first ischemic stroke (OR=3.09, 95%CI 1.67-10.3, OR=2.33, 95%CI 1.87-8.77, OR=1.88, 95%CI 1.44-4.55, OR=1.86, 95%CI 1.45-6.54, respectively). Hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, ischemic heart disease, high NIHSS score and large vessel infarction were significantly higher among post stroke dementia patients. However, on binary logistic regression, they did not reach to be independent risk factors. Conclusion: Stroke location (left stroke, strategic infarction, anterior circulation stroke) and diabetes mellitus could be predictors of dementia after first ischemic stroke, but stroke severity, stroke subtypes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking and ischemic heart could not.

Background: The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale or NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is a widely used tool for assessing stroke severity. We conducted this study to determine the severity of stroke patients admitted in a tertiary care hospital.Methods: This is a cross sectional study conducted in Department of Neurology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital from April 2016 to October 2016 involving 91 acute stroke patients.Result: About half (44%) of the patients were older than 60 years of age and mean age of the patients was 60.34(±16.1) years at onset and there is a slight female predominance (51.6%). Majority had hypertension (75.8%) followed by physical inactivity (67%), diabetes (37.4%), smoking (33%), obesity (23.1%), family H/O stroke (20.9%) and dyslipideamia (15.4%). Many patients were found to have hyperglycemia (14.3%) followed by hyperthermia (13.2%), hypotension (4.4%) and low oxygen saturation (3.3%) at the time of admission. Most of them had ischemic stroke (60%), followed by intracerebral hemorrhage (35%) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (5%). After leveling with NIHSS score more than half of the patients (51%) were found to be moderate grade on admission. Although, there was no association between risk factors of stroke and admission NIHSS score level, significant association was found between hypoxia and admission NIHSS score severity.Conclusion: Acute stroke patients, mostly have moderate grade of NIHSS score on admission. Hypertension, physical inactivity, diabetes, smoking, obesity, family H/O stroke and dyslipideamia are common risk factors observed among the patients which have no significant association with admission stroke severity determined by NIHSS score. There is significant association between hypoxia and admission NIHSS score severity.J Dhaka Medical College, Vol. 26, No.2, October, 2017, Page 90-93

Background: Renal dysfunction (RD) may be associated with poor outcome in ischemic stroke patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy (MT), but data concerning this important and emerging comorbidity do not exist so far. Here, we investigated the influence of RD on postprocedural intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), clinical outcome, and mortality in a large prospectively collected cohort of acute ischemic stroke patients treated with MT. Methods: Consecutive patients with anterior-circulation stroke treated with MT between October 2010 and January 2016 were included. RD was defined as glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. In a prospective database, clinical characteristics were recorded and brain images were analyzed for the presence of ICH after treatment in all patients. Clinical outcome was assessed by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) after 3 months. To evaluate associations between clinical factors and outcomes uni- and multivariate regression analyses were conducted. Results: In total, 505 patients fulfilled all inclusion criteria (female: 49.7%, mean age: 71.0 years). RD at admission was present in 20.2%. RD patients were older and had cardiovascular risk factors more often. Multivariate regression analysis after adjustment for age, stroke severity, diabetes, hypertension, GFR, previous stroke, MT alone, or additional thrombolysis and recanalization results revealed that lower GFR was not independently associated with poor outcome (mRS 3-6; OR 1.13, 95% CI 0.99-1.28; p = 0.072) or ICH. However, lower GFR at admission was associated with a higher risk of mortality (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.01-1.31; p = 0.038). Compared to admission, GFR values were higher at discharge (mean: 77.9 vs. 80.8 mL/min/1.73 m2; p = 0.046). Conclusions: We did not find evidence for an association of lower GFR with an increased risk of poor outcome and ICH, but lower GFR was a determinant of 90-day mortality after endovascular stroke treatment. Our findings encourage also performing MT in this relevant subgroup of acute ischemic stroke patients.

Background: Although 20-30% of all strokes occur in the posterior circulation, few studies have explored the characteristics of patients with strokes in the posterior compared to the anterior circulation so far. Especially data on young patients is missing. Methods: In this secondary analysis of data of the prospective multi-centre European sifap1 study that investigated stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients aged 18-55 years, we compared vascular risk factors, stroke aetiology, presence of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) and cerebral microbleeds (CMB) between patients with ischaemic posterior circulation stroke (PCS) and those having suffered from anterior circulation stroke (ACS) based on cerebral MRI. Results: We diagnosed PCS in 612 patients (29.1%, 407 men, 205 women) and ACS in 1,489 patients (70.9%). Their age (median 46 vs. 47 years, p = 0.205) and stroke severity (modified Rankin Scale: both 2, p = 0.375, Barthel Index 90 vs. 85, p = 0.412) were similar. PCS was found to be more frequent among the male gender (66.5 vs. 60.1% with ACS, p = 0.003). Vertebral artery (VA) dissection was more often the cause of PCS (16.8%) than was carotid artery dissection of ACS (7.9%, p < 0.001). Likewise, small vessel disease (Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment [TOAST] = 3, PCS: 14.7%, ACS: 11.8%) and stroke of other determined aetiology (TOAST = 4, PCS: 24.5%, ACS: 16.0%) were more frequent in those with PCS. Furthermore, patent foramen ovale (PFO; PCS: 31.1%, ACS: 25.4%, p = 0.029) was more often detected in patients with PCS. In contrast, large-artery atherosclerosis (TOAST = 1, PCS: 15.4%, ACS: 22.2%) and cardio-embolic stroke (TOAST = 2, PCS: 15.6%, ACS: 18.0%) were less frequent in those with PCS (p < 0.001) as were preceding cerebrovascular events (10.1 vs. 14.1%, p = 0.014), TIA (4.8 vs. 7.7%, p = 0.016) and smoking (53.2 vs. 61.0%, p = 0.001). The presence, extent, and location of WMH and CMB did not differ between the 2 groups. Conclusions: Our data suggested a different pattern of aetiology and risk factors in young patients with PCS compared to those with ACS. These findings especially call for a higher awareness of VA dissection and potentially for more weight of a PFO as a risk factor in young patients with PCS.

Background and purpose: Less severe and smaller infarct are features in acute stroke patients treated with warfarin within a therapeutic range of PT-INR than in those without. But it remains unclear the severity and size of infarct in acute stroke patients treated with direct oral anticoagulants [DOAC]. We investigated the features of acute stroke in patients treated with DOAC, warfarin or without. Methods: We enrolled consecutive 190 non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients (mean age 78; 63% male) who developed acute ischemic stroke and classified them into 4 groups, 109 patients with no anticoagulant therapy [Control group], 25 patients with DOAC therapy [DOAC group], 19 patients treated with warfarin within a therapeutic range of PT-INR [>= 1.6 in patients aged 70 years old or older, >= 2.0 in those aged younger than 70 years old, Warfarin well controlled group], and 37 patients treated with warfarin with subtherapeutic PT-INR values [Warfarin not controlled group]. Infarcts sizes were defined as the maximum diameter of infarct, using the brain MRI diffusion-weighted image. Stroke severity on admission were assessed by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale[NIHSS].We compared them among the groups. Results: There were no significant differences in preadmission CHADS2 score among the 4 groups. The median infarct size were 31mm (interquartile (IQR) 13-59) in the control group, 10mm (IQR 7.4-38) in the DOAC group, 12mm (IQR 8.0-45) in the warfarin well controlled group, and 24mm (IQR 13-67) in the warfarin not controlled group. The size of infarct was significantly smaller in the DOAC group than the control group (P=0.01). The NIHSS on admission was 4 ([IQR] 2-15) in the control group, 2 (1-6) in the DOAC group, 4 (1-17) in the warfarin well controlled group and 5 (3-17) in e warfarin not controlled group. Stroke severity on admission was also more favorable in the DOAC group when compared with the control group (P=0.03) Conclusions: Smaller and less severe infarct may be feature of acute ischemic stroke during DOAC therapy when compared to that without any anticoagulant therapy.

Abstract Purpose Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is the first-line treatment in acute stroke patients presenting with large vessel occlusion (LVO). The efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) prior to MT is being contested. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of MT without IVT in patients with no contraindications to IVT presenting directly to a tertiary stroke center with acute anterior circulation LVO. Materials and Methods We collected the data of 106 acute stroke patients who underwent MT in a single high-volume stroke center. Patients with anterior circulation LVO eligible for IVT and directly admitted to our institution who subsequently underwent MT were included. We recorded baseline clinical, laboratory, procedural, and imaging variables and technical, imaging, and clinical outcomes. The effect of intravenous thrombolysis on 3-month clinical outcome (mRS) was analyzed with univariate tests and binary and ordinal logistic regression analysis. Results Fifty-eight out of the 106 patients received IVT + MT. These patients had 2.6-fold higher odds of poorer clinical outcome in mRS shift analysis (p = 0.01) compared to MT-only patients who had excellent 3-month clinical outcome (mRS 0–1) three times more often (p = 0.009). There were no significant differences between the groups in process times, mTICI, or number of hemorrhagic complications. A trend of less distal embolization and higher number of device passes was observed among the MT-only patients. Conclusions MT without prior IVT was associated with an improved overall three-month clinical outcome in acute anterior circulation LVO patients.

AbstractDistinct patient characteristics have been proposed for ischaemic stroke in the anterior versus posterior circulation. However, data on functional outcome according to stroke territory in patients with acute stroke treatment are conflicting and information on outcome predictors is scarce. In this retrospective study, we analysed functional outcome in 517 patients with stroke and thrombolysis and/or thrombectomy treated at the University Hospital Zurich. We compared clinical factors and performed multivariate logistic regression analyses investigating the effect of outcome predictors according to stroke territory. Of the 517 patients included, 80 (15.5%) suffered a posterior circulation stroke (PCS). PCS patients were less often female (32.5% vs. 45.5%, p = 0.031), received thrombectomy less often (28.7% vs. 48.3%, p = 0.001), and had lower median admission NIHSS scores (5 vs. 10, p < 0.001) as well as a better median three months functional outcome (mRS 1 vs. 2, p = 0.010). Predictors for functional outcome were admission NIHSS (OR 0.864, 95% CI 0.790–0.944, p = 0.001) in PCS and age (OR 0.952, 95% CI 0.935–0.970, p < 0.001), known symptom onset (OR 1.869, 95% CI 1.111–3.144, p = 0.018) and admission NIHSS (OR 0.840, 95% CI 0.806–0.876, p < 0.001) in ACS. Acutely treated PCS and ACS patients differed in their baseline and treatment characteristics. We identified specific functional outcome predictors of thrombolysis and/or thrombectomy success for each stroke territory.

<b><i>Objective:</i></b> The frequency of seizures after stroke is high, with a severe impact on the quality of life. However, little is known about their prevention. Therefore, we investigated whether early administration of diazepam prevents the development of seizures in acute stroke patients. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We performed a substudy of the EGASIS trial, a multicenter double-blind, randomized trial in which acute stroke patients were treated with diazepam or placebo for 3 days. Follow-up was after 2 weeks and 3 months. The occurrence of seizures was registered prospectively as one of the prespecified secondary outcomes. <b><i>Results:</i></b> 784 EGASIS patients were eligible for this substudy (389 treated with diazepam [49.6%] and 395 treated with placebo [50.4%]). Seizures were reported in 19 patients (2.4% of the total patient group). Seizures occurred less frequently in patients treated with diazepam (1.5 vs. 3.3% in the placebo group); however, this difference was only statistically significant in patients with a cortical anterior circulation infarction (0.9% in the diazepam group vs. 4.6% in the placebo group, incidence rate ratio 0.20, 95% CI: 0.05–0.78, <i>p</i> = 0.02, NNT = 27). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> We found that a 3-day treatment with diazepam after acute cortical anterior circulation stroke prevents the occurrence of seizures in the first 3 months following stroke.
