RESUMEN
Objective: To explore the construction and application in the practice of green channel in No. 971 Naval Hospital of PLA (No. 971 Hospital mode) for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods: This retrospective study involved a cohort of 694 suspected stroke patients from December 2022 to November 2023 undergoing emergency treatment for stroke at our institution. Among them, 483 patients were treated with standard green channel (the control group), and 211 patients adopted the No. 971 Hospital mode for treatment (the study group). The biggest difference between the two groups was that the treatment process started before admission. We compared the effectiveness of the emergency treatment between the two groups and the thrombolysis treatment. Results: Compared with control group, the accuracy rate of determining stroke and the rate of thrombolysis were significantly higher (p = 0.002, 0.039) and the door to doctor arrival time (DAT) and the door to CT scan time (DCT) of the study group was significantly shorter (all p < 0.001). There were 49 patients (10.1%) and 33 patients (15.6%) from the control group and study group receiving thrombolysis, respectively. The DAT, DCT, imaging to needle time (INT), and door to needle time (DNT) of patients receiving thrombolysis in the study group were significantly shorter than that in the control group (all p < 0.01). The NIHSS in the study group after the thrombolysis was lower than that in the control group (p = 0.042). Conclusion: No. 971 Hospital model can effectively shorten DAT, DCT, INT, and DNT, and improve the effectiveness of thrombolysis and prognoses of AIS patients.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Stent-assisted coiling (SAC) of acutely ruptured aneurysms has been controversial. Moreover, for aneurysms originating from small diameter vessels, the SAC presents more challenges. This study aimed to investigate the predictors of perioperative complications after SAC with Leo baby stent of acutely ruptured aneurysms. METHODS: We performed a retrospective multicenter analysis of 425 patients with acutely ruptured aneurysms treated with Leo baby. We compared clinical characteristics and outcomes among patients with perioperative complications and those without. Subgroup analysis, including thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications, was also performed. RESULTS: Immediate postoperative angiograms showed Raymond 1 in 357 aneurysms (84.2%), 2 in 53 (12.5%), and 3 in 14 (3.3%). A total of 372 patients (87.5%) were independent (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score 0-2) at discharge. Perioperative complications occurred in 18 cases (4.2%) harboring 13 cases (3.1%) of thromboembolic complications and 5 cases (1.2%) of hemorrhagic complications. Patients with perioperative complications had a higher rate of unfavorable outcomes at discharge (P = .018), especially with thromboembolic complications (P = .043). Multivariate analysis showed that higher preoperative mRS score (P = .004), irregular shape (P = .017), and larger aneurysms (P = .049) were independent predictors of the overall complications, whereas higher preoperative mRS score (P = .022) was an independent predictor for ischemic complications. The follow-up angiogram was available for 245 patients, and the follow-up angiograms revealed Raymond 1 in 223 aneurysms (91.0%), 2 in 19 (7.8%), and 3 in 3 (1.2%). CONCLUSION: Worse clinical condition, irregular shape, and larger aneurysms were independently associated with overall complications, whereas worse clinical condition was viewed as an independent predictor for thromboembolic complications. Attention to these factors is essential for the safe treatment and prognosis of patients with acutely ruptured aneurysms.
