scholarly journals CHANGES IN PLATELET AGGREGATION AND NIHSS AFTER ANTI-PLATELET THERAPY FOR ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKE PATIENTS AT H. ADAM MALIK GENERAL HOSPITAL MEDAN

Background: Acute ischemic stroke is caused by blockage of the cerebral arteries due to thrombus originating from excessive clotting of platelets. Increased platelet activity impacts the risk of atherothrombosis. The clinical impact of this blockage can be seen in changes in platelet aggregation and NIHSS after anti-platelet administration. Objectives: This study aims to determine changes in platelet aggregation and NIHSS after administration of anti-platelet therapy in acute ischemic stroke patients. Methods: This study was a Quasi Experimental Study with the method of Pre and Post-test Only Group selected by consecutive non-random sampling technique, in which patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke treated at H Adam Malik General Hospital Medan. The study began from March to July 2020. Results: The study was conducted on 38 samples consisting of 18 men and 20 women with an average age of 58.92(±7.539) years. There was a significant change between platelet aggregation and NIHSS (p<0.001). There was a significant relationship between platelet aggregation with NIHSS the first day before the administration of anti platelets (p=0.018) and correlation test (r=0.339) positive direction (unidirectional). There was no significant relationship between platelet aggregation with NIHSS in the seventh day after anti platelet administration (p=0.394). Conclusions: There were significant changes between platelet aggregation and NIHSS scores. There was a significant relationship between platelet aggregation and NIHSS the first day before anti platelet administration. There was no significant relationship between platelet aggregation and NIHSS in the seventh day after anti platelet administration.

Background: Data regarding length of stay and discharge disposition in patients with moderate to severe stroke are scarce. We sought to determine Length of Stay (LoS) in a consecutive group of patients admitted at a large academic center and assess for any possible difference in LoS at discharge by treatment modality received and by vessels occlusion status. Methods: Retrospective review of a database comprising acute ischemic stroke patients admitted to our center between 1/1/2009-3/31/2011. Patient Demographics, treatment modality (IV thrombolytic tissue plasminogen activator (IVtPA), Endovascular (IA), no thrombolytic (NT), LoS, occlusion of major cerebral arteries and discharge disposition were collected. Inclusion criteria were AIS with admission NIHSS ≥10. Results: A total of 744 patients 361 (48.5%) male, mean age 69.9 years were identified. Treatment modalities: 174 (23%) IVtPA, 177 (24%) IA, 393 (53%) NT. Median NIHSS 16.5 and not significant among the 3 groups (P=.603). Mean LoS was 7.38 days (SD 7.4) with no significant difference between the 3 groups (P=.056). Occlusion to one of the 3 cerebral arteries (ICA, MCA, BA) was: 84% in IVtPA, 100% in IA, 87% in NT. Discharge disposition and LoS by treatment and occlusions are shown in the Table . Among patients treated with IVtPA (n=174) mean LoS was 6.33 days (range 1-27). LoS was significantly longer among those without occlusion vs with any occlusion (P=.001). Among patients that received IA (n=177) mean LoS was 8.21 days (range 0-74). Among patients received NT (n=393) the mean LoS was 7.47 days (range 0-64). Conclusions: Thrombolytic therapy (IV or EV) in patients with strokes is not associated with longer hospitalizations duration. A significant difference between death rates in patients receiving IA thrombolytic (22%) compared to IV (32%) or NT (30%) was found with fewer death among those that received IA (P= .008). Patients discharged to long term care facilities have regardless of treatment longer LoS (12.41v 6.14) (P>.000).

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.

Ischemic stroke is the cause of most cases which occur due to obstruction, this pathogenesis can be caused by the formation of thrombus in the cerebrum blood vessels. Platelet aggregation plays a role in the pathogenesis of thromboembolic cerebrovascular disease. Platelets size, measured as Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) is a marker of platelet function and is associated with the indicator of platelet activity. Several studies have found that there was an increased of MPV in acute ischemic stroke while the correlation with the severity and outcome of stroke was still controversial. The aim of study is to determine the MPV and their association with outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients. A cohort study during May up to July 2010 was carried out, the researchers measured MPV and analyze their correlation with its outcome using modified Rankin scale score 10 days after the onset in 33 acute ischemic stroke patients. The mean of MPV for the first three days of the onset was 8.9 fl, on the 5th day was increased up to 9.4 but at the 10th day of onset the MPV remains the same value as the 5th day. The MPV of first three days and 5th day have a positive correlation, but insignificant with their outcome, with p values 0.158 and 0.06, respectively. From this study can be concluded that the increased of MPV on the fifth day onset did not have any significant correlation with the outcome of acute ischemic stroke illness.

BACKGROUND Platelet size, measured as mean platelet volume (MPV), is a marker of platelet function and is positively associated with indicators of platelet activity, including aggregation and release of thromboxane A2, platelet factor 4, and thromboglobulin.1 Larger platelets are metabolically more active, produce more prothrombotic factors, aggregate more easily & act as index of homeostasis and its dysfunction thrombosis.2 The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between platelet indices and stroke, as well as its severity and outcome. METHODS This was a prospective observational case control study. This study was conducted with 105 non-diabetic, non-hypertensive ischemic stroke patients who had no history of previous thrombotic events and who had not previously taken any antiplatelet medications. These patients were examined within 24 hours of onset of symptoms and severity of stroke was calculated by Canadian neurological scale (CNS). The results were compared with 105 age and sex match controls. RESULTS Mean age of patients was 61.72 ± 12 and of controls was 62.85 ± 10.68. Based on the CNS score, participants were allocated into two groups; the first group were those who had a comprehension deficit (1st group, 43 patients) and the second group were those without a comprehension deficit (2nd group, 62 patients). Mean values for platelet distribution width (PDW) & MPV in 1st group was 18.329 and 12.55 respectively and in 2nd group was 16.98 and 11.48 respectively. The mean value of PDW and MPV for stroke patients was 17.53 ± 0.76 and 11.92 ± 0.58 and was significantly higher than mean value of PDW & MPV respectively in controls, which were 15.47 ± 0.26 and 10.43 ± 0.23. PDW & MPV was found to be significantly associated with severity of motor deficit. CONCLUSIONS Larger studies may be required to determine its utility in day-to-day clinical practice. However, platelet indices can be used for predicting the severity of deficit in patients of acute ischemic stroke. KEYWORDS Platelet Indices, Stroke

Background: Stroke is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Indonesia. Dyslipidemia is one of the main risk factors of ischemic stroke. Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is the logarithm of the triglyceride’s plasma ratio concentration to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) plasma concentration. Previous studies showed that the high AIP at hospital admission was associated with deterioration of neurological deficits in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods: This is a cross sectional study with 82 sample of acute ischemic stroke subjects that consecutively collected from the medical records of Haji Adam Malik general hospital Medan from January to December 2019, AIP assessment performed at the 1st day of hospitalization and then at the 7th -onset the national institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS) score assessment was count. Data analysis is conducted with Spearman test.Results: Demographic characteristics showed that most subjects were female (51.2%), at age range between 60 -68 years (30.5%), had high school education level (48.8%), self-employed (35.4%) and Bataknese (68.3%). The mean of AIP was 0.15±0.26 and the mean NIHSS score was 6.70±3.6. There was a positive significant and mild power of correlation between AIP and the NIHSS score (p=0.017; r=0.262).Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between AIP and the NIHSS score. The higher the AIP of acute ischemic stroke patients was associated with the increase in the NIHHS scores.
