ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the relationship between metabolic syndrome and 1-year poor outcome in elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI).Methods:The clinical data of elderly patients with ACI admitted to Renqiu Kangjixintu Hospital from January 2014 to November 2018 were selected and divided into metabolic syndrome group (931 cases) and non-metabolic syndrome group (1 851 cases). The clinical data of the two groups of elderly patients with ACI were compared, and the effect of metabolic syndrome on poor outcome (modified Rankin scale>2 scores) of elderly patients with ACI in 1 year was analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.Results:The proportion of female, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and antiplatelet drug use in the metabolic syndrome group were higher than those in the non-metabolic syndrome group: 52.74%(491/931) vs. 32.58%(603/1 851), 79.16%(737/931) vs. 64.29% (1 190/1 851), 42.32% (394/931) vs. 6.43% (119/1 851), 17.19% (160/931) vs. 11.62% (215/1 851), 18.90% (176/931) vs. 14.10% (261/1 851), 62.73% (584/931) vs. 50.89% (942/1 851), 3.73% (69/931) vs. 1.61% (15/1 851), 19.23% (179/931) vs. 15.51% (287/1 851), the levels of body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting plasma glucose (TG), total cholesterol (TC), platelet (PLT), fibrinogen (FIB), fall score were higher than those in non-metabolic syndrome group: 26.67 (25.31, 28.60) kg/m 2 vs. 23.30 (21.48, 24.91) kg/m 2, (167.17 ± 22.96) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) vs. (164.21 ± 24.90) mmHg, (87.06 ± 13.10) mmHg vs. (85.76 ± 12.99) mmHg, (7.33 ± 2.64) mmol/L vs. (5.35 ± 1.38) mmol/L, (2.12 ± 1.51) mmol/L vs. (1.13 ± 0.78) mmol/L, (4.97 ± 1.31) mmol/L vs. (4.65 ± 0.99) mmol/L, 213.00 (179.00, 256.00) × 10 9/L vs. 203.00 (172.00, 241.00) × 10 9/L, 3.07 (2.63, 3.52) g/L vs. 2.94 (2.55, 3.37) g/L, (6.12 ± 1.70) scores vs. (5.93±1.74) scores, the levels of age, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), homocysteine (Hcy) and pressure ulcer score were lower than those of non-metabolic syndrome group: (69.29 ± 6.96) years vs. (71.28 ± 7.66) years, (0.98 ± 0.34) mmol/L vs. (1.31 ± 0.88) mmol/L, (18.93 ± 13.07) mmol/L vs. (21.66 ± 16.39) mmol/L, (18.55 ± 2.42) vs. (19.02 ± 2.43), with statistical significance ( P<0.05). After 1-year follow-up, the proportion of poor outcomes in the metabolic syndrome group was higher than that in the non-metabolic syndrome group: 21.70%(202/931) vs. 18.69% (346/1 851), with statistical significance ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age, stroke, national institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS) score at admission, systolic blood pressure, Hcy, pressure ulcer score, fall score, metabolic syndrome were independent risk factors for poor outcome of ACI in 1 year ( OR = 1.056, 1.309, 1.138, 1.005, 1.006, 0.882, 1.076 and 1.285; 95% CI 1.040 to 1.072, 1.037 to 1.652, 1.097 to 1.180, 1.000 to 1.010, 1.000 to 1.013, 0.834 to 0.933, 1.004 to 1.152 and 1.001 to 1.657; P<0.05). Conclusions:Multiple risk factors for stroke are closely related to poor outcome of ACI in the elderly. And metabolic syndrome is an independent risk factor for poor outcome of ACI in the elderly in 1 year.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the predictive value of pressure ulcer score and fall score and NIHSS scale for discharge outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods:From January 2014 and November 2018, 4 468 patients with AIS who were treated in Hebei Province Renqiu Kangjixintu Hospital were selected as the research object. According to the modified Rankin scale (mRS) score standard discharge, mRS score in 0 to 2 scores was defined as good discharge outcome, and mRS score ≥3 scores defined as bad discharge outcome. Predictive value of pressure ulcer score, fall score and NIHSS score for the discharge outcome of AIS was analyzed.Results:The score of pressure ulcer in the group with bad discharge outcome was significantly lower than that in the group with good discharge outcome: (16.96 ± 2.89) scores vs. (19.91 ± 1.71) scores, the score of fall and NIHSS in the group with bad discharge outcome were higher than that in the group with good discharge outcome, with statistical significance: (6.66 ± 1.77) scores vs. (5.21 ± 1.64) scores, (7.34 ± 5.08) scores vs. (3.15 ± 2.21) scores ( P<0.01). The cutoff values of pressure sore score, fall score and NIHSS score for predicting adverse discharge outcome were 18.5, 5.5 and 3.5 scores, respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.809, 0.731 and 0.863, respectively. The sensitivity was 86.00%, 76.200% and 78.30%, and the specificity was 64.00%, 59.50% and 80.60%. The pressure ulcer score, fall score and NIHSS score had statistical difference in predicting the adverse outcome of discharge ( P<0.01). Conclusions:The pressure ulcer score, fall score and NIHSS score have good predictive value for the discharge outcome of AIS. The lower the pressure ulcer score and the higher fall score and NIHSS score are, the higher the risk of poor discharge outcome of AIS is. Actively controlling the occurrence of pressure ulcers and falls can effectively reduce the risk of poor discharge outcome of AIS.
