Early Neurological Deterioration in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke (ENDAIS)

Explore the Causes and Predictors of Early Neurological Deterioration Occurred in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke

This study set out to explore the risk factors of early neurological deterioration (END) occurred in patients with acute ischemic stroke and to investigate the corresponding predictors.

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Conditions

Detailed Description

END refers to the illness aggravation occurred in the early stage of stroke and often indicates a poor outcome. Some clinical scales may play an important role in its diagnoses and treatments. Across the reviewed studies, the risk factors of END, which included biochemical parameters, neuroimaging, ect. were explored incompletely and the effective predictors of END is unknown. We aimed to explore the risk factors of END and investigate the predictive value of certain scales.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
END group
The patients in this group had an elevation of ≥ 2 points in the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) within 7 days of stroke onset.
non-END group
The patients in this group had a slight increase of < 2 points or a decrease in NIHSS within 7 days of stroke onset.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale
Time Frame: 7 days
National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) can assess the severity of stroke. The total score of NIHSS ranges from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating better neurological function.
7 days
Canadian Neurological Scale
Time Frame: 7 days
Canadian Neurological Scale (CNS) can assess the severity of stroke as well. The total score of CNS ranges from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating worse neurological function.
7 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Blood parameters
Time Frame: 7days
The blood parameters included total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein. The normal range of them were 3 mmol·L-1 to 5.7 mmol·L-1, 0 mmol·L-1 to 2.25 mmol·L-1, 2.6 mmol·L-1 to 4.1 mmol·L-1, 1.03 mmol·L-1 to 1.55 mmol·L-1, respectively.
7days
Neuroimaging data
Time Frame: 7days
Intracranial stenosis was defined as ≥ 50% narrowing in any of the intracranial arteries. Multi-vessel lesions were recorded when the number of cerebral vascular stenosis was greater than 2.
7days
