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.

Abstract Purpose of Review In this review article we will discuss the acute hypertensive response in the context of acute ischemic stroke and present the latest evidence-based concepts of the significance and management of the hemodynamic response in acute ischemic stroke. Recent Findings Acute hypertensive response is considered a common hemodynamic physiologic response in the early setting of an acute ischemic stroke. The significance of the acute hypertensive response is not entirely well understood. However, in certain types of acute ischemic strokes, the systemic elevation of the blood pressure helps to maintain the collateral blood flow in the penumbral ischemic tissue. The magnitude of the elevation of the systemic blood pressure that contributes to the maintenance of the collateral flow is not well established. The overcorrection of this physiologic hemodynamic response before an effective vessel recanalization takes place can carry a negative impact in the final clinical outcome. The significance of the persistence of the acute hypertensive response after an effective vessel recanalization is poorly understood, and it may negatively affect the final outcome due to reperfusion injury. Summary Acute hypertensive response is considered a common hemodynamic reaction of the cardiovascular system in the context of an acute ischemic stroke. The reaction is particularly common in acute brain embolic occlusion of large intracranial vessels. Its early management before, during, and immediately after arterial reperfusion has a repercussion in the final fate of the ischemic tissue and the clinical outcome.

Background: Data on arterial recanalization after IV t-PA treatment are rare. IMS-3 allows the study of variables affecting arterial recanalization after IV t-PA in acute ischemic stroke patients with CTA-proved major artery occlusions. Methods: Of 656 acute ischemic stroke patients in IMS-3, 306 were examined with baseline CTA and randomized either to IV t-PA (N=95) or to IV t-PA followed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and endovascular therapy (EVT) (N=211). Comparison of baseline CTA to DSA within 5 hours of stroke onset assessed early arterial recanalization after IV t-PA. A central core lab categorized DSA vessel occlusion as “no, partial, or complete”. We studied the association between arterial occlusion sites on baseline CTA with early recanalization for the endovascular group and analyzed its impact on clinical outcome at 90 days. Results: In the EVT group, 22 patients (10.4%) had no CTA intracranial occlusions, but 1 extracranial occlusion; 42 patients (19.9%) had occlusions of intracranial internal carotid artery (ic-ICA); 10 patients (4.7%) had tandem occlusions of the cervical ICA and middle cerebral artery (MCA); 95 patients (45.0%) had MCA-trunk (M1) occlusions, 33 patients (15.6%) had M2 occlusions, 3 patients (1.4%) had M3/4 occlusions, and 6 patients (2.8%) occlusions within posterior circulation. Partial or complete recanalization occurred in 28.6% of patients before DSA and was marginally associated with occlusion site (p=0.0525) (8 patients (19.0%) with ic-ICA occlusion, 0 patients with tandem ICA/MCA occlusions, 34 patients (35.8%) with M1 occlusions, 11 patients (33.3%) with M2 occlusions, 0 patients with M3/4 occlusions, and 1 patient (16.7%) with occlusion within posterior circulation). Three CTA negative patients had intracranial occlusions on DSA. Thirty-two patients (59.3%) with early recanalization achieved mRS of 0-2 at 90 days compared to 51 patients (38.4%) without early recanalization (p=0.0099). There was no relationship between early recanalization and time to IV t-PA or mean t-PA dose. Conclusion: Before EVT, IV rt-PA may facilitate arterial recanalization and better clinical outcome in about one third of patients.

     ASSOCIATION BETWEEN GASTROINTESTINAL BLEEDING WITH CLINICAL OUTCOME ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKE PATIENTABSTRACTIntroduction: Gastrointestinal bleeding associated by the delay in the administration of antiplatelet and anticoagulant, thus affected the clinical outcome and patient treatment.Aims: To find the association between gastrointestinal bleeding and clinical outcome in acute ischemic stroke patient.Methods: This study was a prospective observational, conducted at Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung in November 2017 to February 2018. Acute ischemic stroke patients that fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria were observed while being treated in the ward and the survival rate and length of stay were studied. This study used univariate, bivariate, multivariate, and stratification analysis.Results: In the study period, 100 acute ischemic stroke patients were found and 24 patients had gastrointestinal bleeding. A history of previous peptic ulcer/gastrointestinal bleeding was found in patient with gastrointestinal bleeding (20.8%). Median NIHSS score was higher (16 vs 7) and GCS score was lower (12 vs 15) in patients with bleeding. Multivariate analysis showed that gastrointestinal bleeding were significantly associated with survival and length of stay. The analysis of stratification showed subjects with infections who later experienced gastrointestinal bleeding had a lower risk of death and length of stay than subjects without infection who experienced gastrointestinal bleeding (1.7  vs  22.5 times and 1.5 vs 2 times).Discussion: Ischemic stroke with gastrointestinal bleeding had higher mortality and length of stay than without gastrointestinal bleeding in acute ischemic stroke patient.Keyword: Acute ischemic stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding, length of stay, mortalityABSTRAKPendahuluan: Perdarahan gastrointestinal berhubungan dengan penundaan terapi antiplatelet atau antikoagulan, sehingga berpengaruh terhadap luaran dan tata laksana pasien.Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan perdarahan gastrointestinal dengan luaran pasien stroke iskemik akut.Metode: Penelitian prospektif observasional terhadap pasien stroke iskemik akut di RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin, Bandung pada bulan November 2017 hingga Februari 2018.

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.
