CLINICAL FEATURES AND OUTCOME OF CEREBRAL INFARCTION WITH CAROTID OCCLUSION PATIENTS IN THE FIRST 30 DAYS AT BACH MAI HOSPITAL IN 2023
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To describe the clinical features and outcome of cerebral infarction with carotid occlusion patients in the first 30 days at Bach Mai hospital in 2023. Subjects and methods: Descriptive case series of 37 ischemic stroke patients with ipsilateral carotid artery occlusion, hospitalized at the Neurology Department in Bach Mai Hospital from Jan 2023 to Aug 2023. Results: The mean age in our series was 66.6 ± 10.3; the oldest was 86 years old, and the youngest was 42 years old. The male/female ratio was 3.6/1. The hypertension rate was 70.3%; the hyperlipidemia rate was 59.5%; there were three patients with other cardiovascular diseases; the diabetes rate was 18.9%. The mean baseline Glasgow Coma Scale score was 13.8 ± 1.5 points. The mean baseline NIHSS score was 16.2 ± 8.4 points. The mean Modified Rankin Scale after 30 days was 3.8 ± 1.6. The mortality rate was 16.2%. Conclusion: Cerebral infarction with carotid occlusion is a rare disease with various clinical symptoms from mild, moderate, severe to very severe. The poor 30-day outcome with the mortality rate was high.
