About

This study set out to explore the risk factors of early neurological deterioration (END) occurred in patients with acute ischemic stroke and to investigate the corresponding predictors.

Full description

END refers to the illness aggravation occurred in the early stage of stroke and often indicates a poor outcome. Some clinical scales may play an important role in its diagnoses and treatments. Across the reviewed studies, the risk factors of END, which included biochemical parameters, neuroimaging, ect. were explored incompletely and the effective predictors of END is unknown. We aimed to explore the risk factors of END and investigate the predictive value of certain scales.

Trial design

1,200 participants in 2 patient groups

END group

Description:

The patients in this group had an elevation of ≥ 2 points in the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) within 7 days of stroke onset.

non-END group

Description:

The patients in this group had a slight increase of < 2 points or a decrease in NIHSS within 7 days of stroke onset.
