Analysis of influencing factors of hemorrhage transformation after intravenous alteplase thrombolysis in patients with acute cerebral infarction
Objective To study the influencing factors of hemorrhage transformation after intravenous alteplase thrombolysis in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods The clinical data of 180 patients with acute cerebral infarction treated by intravenous alteplase thrombolysis were analyzed retrospectively,including gender,age,body mass index(BMI),history of smoking,history of atrial fibrillation,comorbid hypertension,comorbid diabetes mellitus,comorbid hyperlipidemia,time window for thrombolysis≥3 h,pre-thrombolysis National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score>8 points,implementation of antiplatelet therapy,improvement of neurological symptoms after 24 h of thrombolysis,and cerebral herniation.The incidence of hemorrhage transformation was analyzed,and the independent risk factors leading to hemorrhage transformation were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis.Results Among 180 patients with acute cerebral infarction treated with intravenous alteplase thrombolysis,there were 17 cases had hemorrhage transformation,accounting for 9.44%,and 163 cases had no hemorrhage transformation,accounting for 90.56%.88.24%of patients with hemorrhage transformation were≥65 years old,76.47%had BMI≥28 kg/m2,94.12%had history of smoking,35.29%had history of atrial fibrillation,82.35%had hypertension,58.82%had diabetes mellitus,88.24%had hyperlipemia,88.24%had time window for thrombolysis≥3 h,58.82%had pre-thrombolysis NIHSS score>8 points,and 94.12%had cerebral hernia,which were higher than 55.83%,6.13%,55.21%,11.66%,14.11%,12.88%,12.27%,12.27%,26.99%,and 3.07%of patients without hemorrhage transformation;the implementation of antiplatelet therapy accounted for 11.76%,and the improvement of neurological symptoms after 24 h of thrombolysis accounted for 11.76%,which were lower than 86.50%and 84.66%of patients without hemorrhage transformation;the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that comorbid hypertension,comorbid hyperlipidemia,time window for thrombolysis≥3 h,pre-thrombolysis NIHSS score>8 points,no improvement of neurological symptoms after 24 h of thrombolysis,and cerebral hernia were independent risk factors for hemorrhage transformation after intravenous alteplase thrombolysis in patients with acute cerebral infarction(P<0.05).Conclusion The influencing factors of hemorrhage transformation after intravenous alteplase thrombolysis for acute cerebral infarction are multifaceted.It is necessary to strengthen the observation and treatment of various risks for patients,so as to avoid as far as possible the emergence of hemorrhage transformation in patients and affect the prognosis.
