Influencing Factors of Early Neurological Deterioration and Short-Term Prognosis after Intravenous Thrombolysis in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke

Objective. To explore the factors affecting the early neurological deterioration (END) and short-term prognosis of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after intravenous thrombolysis. Methods. The clinical data of 212 patients with AIS who received intravenous thrombolysis in our hospital from July 2017 to November 2020 were selected and divided into the END group (n = 71) and the non-END group (n = 141) according to the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score and divided into the poor prognosis group (n = 85) and the good prognosis group (n = 127) according to the modified Rankin scale (mRS) score at discharge. The basic data of patients, vascular risk factors, imaging examinations, and laboratory indicators were collected. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of END and the short-term prognosis of AIS patients after intravenous thrombolysis. Results. Univariate analysis showed that the patient's age, time from onset to treatment (OTT), NIHSS score, diabetes, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, TOAST classification, infarct size, carotid artery stenosis, white blood cell count (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), and D-dimer (DD) were associated with END (P
