This research aims to determine how steno-occlusive arterial disease affects the risk of early neurological deterioration after an acute ischemic stroke.
Examined a prospective cohort of 1,093 patients with neurological symptoms within 24 hours of stroke onset.
Defined early neurological deterioration as an increase of ≥4 points on the NIH Stroke Scale within 72 hours.
Conducted multivariable analysis considering factors like blood pressure, glucose levels, and prior antithrombotic treatment.
Early neurological deterioration occurred in 179 patients (16.3%).
Steno-occlusive disease was independently associated with an increased odds ratio (OR) of 3.60 for deterioration.
In the vertebrobasilar system, steno-occlusive arterial disease had an even higher adjusted OR of 5.49.
