AN ANALYSIS OF INFLUENCING FACTORS FOR SHORT-TERM PROGNOSIS AFTER ENDOVASCULAR TREATMENT IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH POSTERIOR CIRCULATION INFARCTION

Objective To explore the influencing factors for short-term prognosis after endovascular treatment in elderly patients with posterior circulation infarction (POCI). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 50 elderly patients with POCI who received endovascular treatment in the Nuclear Industry 416 Hospital from January 2019 to December 2020. The clinical data included patients’ preoperative general status (age, sex, smoking history, and alcohol abuse history), past disease history (diabetes, hypertension, hyperuricemia, and transient ischemic attack), post-onset indicators [onset-to-door time (ODT), door-to-needle time (DNT), NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) on admission], and postoperative conditions (immediate postoperative NIHSS, revascularization, and postoperative complications). The patients were divided into good prognosis group and poor prognosis group according to modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 90 d after endovascular treatment and were analyzed for the differences in the ab
