The concept of 'pyramidal weakness' denotes that neurological examination findings can be localised to the central nervous system (CNS), and implying a specific pattern of motor weakness involving upper limb extensors and lower limb flexors. However, other weakness patterns have been observed in CNS lesions. We aim to investigate the pattern of weakness observed in CNS lesions and explore the use of the phrase 'pyramidal weakness' over time. We searched Medline, PubMed, and Google Scholar up to January 1st, 2022, using keywords such as ‘distal weakness,’ ‘upper limb flexion,’ ‘lower limb extension,’ ‘pyramidal weakness,’ and related terms. The inclusion criteria were papers relating to brain or spinal cord lesions and terms inferring their presence or the description of a motor weakness pattern. We identified 117 studies since 1889, of which 29.9% of publications described weakness in upper limb extensors and lower limb flexors, and 26.5% reported distal weakness. We found an early reference to 'pyramidal weakness' in 1922 in the context of unilateral weakness in encephalitis with no description of the upper limb extensor and lower limb flexor pattern. Since 1988, 'pyramidal weakness' has become associated with weakness in upper limb extensors and lower limb flexors. The phrase 'pyramidal weakness', used in its current format, has been more frequent since the 1980s. Distal weakness and upper limb extensor and lower limb flexor weakness have been associated with CNS lesions.
锥体无力 "的概念是指神经系统检查结果可定位到中枢神经系统(CNS),并暗示一种涉及上肢伸肌和下肢屈肌的特定运动无力模式。然而,在中枢神经系统病变中也观察到其他的无力模式。我们旨在研究中枢神经系统病变中观察到的无力模式,并探讨 "锥体无力 "这一短语的长期使用情况。我们使用 "远端无力"、"上肢屈曲"、"下肢伸展"、"锥体无力 "等关键词及相关术语对 Medline、PubMed 和 Google Scholar 进行了检索(截至 2022 年 1 月 1 日)。纳入标准是与大脑或脊髓病变有关的论文,以及推断其存在或描述运动无力模式的术语。我们发现了自 1889 年以来的 117 项研究,其中 29.9% 的出版物描述了上肢伸肌和下肢屈肌的无力,26.5% 的出版物报告了远端无力。我们发现,1922 年在脑炎单侧无力的背景下曾提及 "锥体无力",但并未描述上肢伸肌和下肢屈肌的模式。自 1988 年起,"锥体无力 "开始与上肢伸肌和下肢屈肌的无力联系起来。自 20 世纪 80 年代以来,"锥体无力 "这一短语的使用频率越来越高。远端无力、上肢伸肌和下肢屈肌无力与中枢神经系统病变有关。

Background Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) affects approximately half of acute, moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. To date, there have been no rigorous studies of BPPV assessment or treatment in this cohort. We aimed to determine the safety, practicability, and efficacy of therapist-led BPPV management in acute TBI and the feasibility of a larger effectiveness trial. Methods This was a multi-centre, three-arm, parallel-groups, randomised, feasibility trial. Recruitment was via convenience sampling. The main inclusion criteria were age over 18 years and a confirmed, non-penetrating, acute TBI. BPPV-positive patients were randomly allocated to one of three interventions (repositioning manoeuvres, Brandt–Daroff exercises or advice) using minimisation criteria. Outcome assessors were blinded to the intervention. Results Of 2014 patients screened for inclusion, 180 were assessed for BPPV. Of those assessed, 34% (62/180) had BPPV, and 58 patients received an intervention. Therapist-led interventions were delivered safely and accurately according to intervention monitoring criteria. Resolution of BPPV was observed in 35/58 (60%) patients. The resolution rate was highest following repositioning manoeuvres (78%), followed by the advice (53%) and Brandt–Daroff interventions (42%). 10 patients experienced recurrence. This was observed more frequently in those with skull fractures and bilateral or mixed BPPV. Conclusions Overall, the results provide strong evidence for the feasibility of a future trial. Therapist-led management of BPPV in acute TBI was safe and practicable. Repositioning manoeuvres seemingly yielded a superior treatment effect. However, given the high recurrence rate of post-traumatic BPPV, the optimal time to treat according to patients’ specific recurrence risk requires further investigation.

背景 良性阵发性位置性眩晕(BPPV)影响着大约一半的急性、中度和重度脑外伤(TBI)患者。迄今为止,还没有针对这类人群的良性阵发性位置性眩晕评估或治疗的严格研究。我们旨在确定由治疗师主导的急性 TBI BPPV 管理的安全性、实用性和有效性,以及进行更大规模有效性试验的可行性。方法 这是一项多中心、三臂、平行分组、随机的可行性试验。通过便利抽样进行招募。主要纳入标准为年龄超过 18 岁,确诊为非穿透性急性创伤性脑损伤。BPPV阳性患者按照最小化标准被随机分配到三种干预方法中的一种(重新定位操作、Brandt-Daroff练习或建议)。结果评估人员对干预措施进行盲测。结果 在筛选出的2014名患者中,有180人接受了BPPV评估。在接受评估的患者中,34%(62/180)患有BPPV,58名患者接受了干预。根据干预监测标准,治疗师主导的干预安全准确。35/58(60%)名患者的 BPPV 得到缓解。重新定位操作的缓解率最高(78%),其次是建议(53%)和 Brandt-Daroff 干预(42%)。有 10 名患者复发。颅骨骨折、双侧或混合性 BPPV 患者的复发率更高。结论 总体而言,研究结果为未来试验的可行性提供了有力证据。治疗师主导的急性创伤性脑损伤 BPPV 管理安全可行。重新定位操作似乎产生了更好的治疗效果。然而,鉴于创伤后 BPPV 的复发率较高,根据患者的具体复发风险确定最佳治疗时间还需进一步研究。试验注册 [ISRCTN91943864][1], .如有合理要求,可提供数据。数据可应合理要求提供。[1]:/external-ref?link_type=ISRCTN&access_num=ISRCTN91943864

Background Migraine is the second most common prevalent disorder worldwide and is a top cause of disability with a substantial economic burden. Many preventive migraine medications have notable side effects that affect different body organs. Method We systematically searched for published randomised controlled trials (RCTs) using terms for migraine/headache and preventive medications. Using eligibility criteria, two reviewers independently assessed the articles. Cochrane risk-of-bias tool was applied to assess the quality of the studies. Data were classified by system organ class (SOC). Results Thirty-two RCTs with 21 780 participants met the eligibility criteria for the incidence of adverse events (AEs). Additionally, 33 RCTs with 22 615 participants were included to synthesise the incidence of serious AEs (SAEs). The percentage of attributed AEs and SAEs to each SOC for 10 preventive drugs with different dosing regimens was calculated. Amitriptyline and topiramate had a higher incidence of nervous system disorders; Topiramate was also associated with a higher incidence of psychiatric disorders. All drugs showed a certain incidence of infections and infestations, with Onabotulinumtoxin A (BTA) having the lowest rate. BTA had a higher incidence of musculoskeletal disorders than the other drugs. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) such as fremanezumab and galcanezumab were linked to more general disorders and administration site conditions than other drugs. Conclusion Notably, the observed harm to SOCs varies among these preventive drugs. We suggest conducting head-to-head RCTs to evaluate the safety profile of oral medications, BTA, and CGRP MAbs in episodic and/or chronic migraine populations.

背景偏头痛是全球第二大常见疾病,也是导致残疾的首要原因之一,造成了巨大的经济负担。许多预防偏头痛的药物都有明显的副作用,会影响不同的身体器官。方法 我们以偏头痛/头痛和预防性药物为关键词,系统地检索了已发表的随机对照试验(RCT)。根据资格标准,由两名审稿人对文章进行独立评估。采用 Cochrane 偏倚风险工具评估研究质量。数据按系统器官等级(SOC)进行分类。结果 32 项 RCT 共 21 780 名参与者符合不良事件(AEs)发生率的资格标准。此外,还纳入了 33 项 RCT,共 22 615 名参与者,以综合分析严重 AE(SAE)的发生率。我们计算了不同给药方案的 10 种预防性药物的 AE 和 SAE 在每种 SOC 中所占的百分比。阿米替林和托吡酯的神经系统疾病发生率较高;托吡酯的精神疾病发生率也较高。所有药物都有一定的感染和侵袭发生率,其中奥那布毒毒素 A(BTA)的感染和侵袭发生率最低。与其他药物相比,BTA 的肌肉骨骼疾病发病率较高。与其他药物相比,降钙素基因相关肽(CGRP)单克隆抗体(MAbs)(如 fremanezumab 和 galcanezumab)与更多的一般疾病和用药部位病症有关。结论 值得注意的是,在这些预防性药物中,观察到的对 SOC 的危害各不相同。我们建议进行头对头 RCT 研究,以评估口服药物、BTA 和 CGRP MAbs 在发作性和/或慢性偏头痛人群中的安全性。PROSPERO 注册号为 CRD42021265993。与该研究相关的所有数据均包含在文章中或作为补充信息上传。

Introduction Nerve conduction study (NCS) and electromyography (EMG) are electrodiagnostic studies that are highly tolerated by patients despite their nature of causing pain and discomfort. However, few studies have focused on the true tolerability of these procedures in patients. This study aimed to determine the true tolerance rate of NCS and EMG in patient populations and the factors that might be associated with them. Methods Participants scheduled for electrodiagnostic studies were prospectively recruited between March 2023 and September 2023. After completion of the study, the physicians completed a questionnaire on each patient’s tolerance of the studies. Results Of the 103 patients enrolled in the study, 98 were able to tolerate both tests, and 5 patients were intolerant to 1 or both tests. The overall tolerance rate of NCS and EMG was 95.1% (0.951, 95% CI 0.897 to 0.981). Age, sex, ethnicity, the type of NCS performed and the type of EMG performed were not associated with NCS or EMG intolerance. Conclusion Most patients tolerated the NCS and EMG; however, a small percentage of patients were intolerant. Clinicians should recognise the intolerance of certain patients when introducing and performing electrodiagnostic tests. Data are available upon reasonable request.
导言 神经传导研究(NCS)和肌电图(EMG)是一种电诊断研究,尽管会引起疼痛和不适,但患者的耐受性很高。然而,很少有研究关注患者对这些检查的真正耐受性。本研究旨在确定 NCS 和 EMG 在患者群体中的真实耐受率以及可能与之相关的因素。方法 在 2023 年 3 月至 2023 年 9 月期间,前瞻性地招募了计划进行电诊断研究的参与者。研究结束后,医生填写了一份关于每位患者对研究耐受性的调查问卷。结果 在参加研究的 103 名患者中,98 名患者能够耐受两项检查,5 名患者不能耐受其中一项或两项检查。对 NCS 和 EMG 的总体耐受率为 95.1%(0.951,95% CI 0.897 至 0.981)。年龄、性别、种族、所进行的 NCS 类型和 EMG 类型与 NCS 或 EMG 不耐受无关。结论 大多数患者能耐受 NCS 和 EMG,但也有一小部分患者不能耐受。临床医生在引入和进行电诊断测试时应认识到某些患者的不耐受性。如有合理要求,可提供相关数据。

Background In Australia, tixagevimab/cilgavimab 150 mg/150 mg was a government-funded pre-exposure prophylaxis for COVID-19 people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) and other neuroimmunological conditions (pwNIc) treated with anti-CD20 antibodies or sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulators were eligible. Objective To analyse the roll-out, uptake and real-world efficacy of tixagevimab/cilgavimab in the prevention and severity of COVID-19. To assess compliance with uptake depending on the location of delivery. Methods We undertook a single-centre study. 440 pwMS and pwNIc were eligible. Logistic regression was used to assess predictors of COVID-19 during follow-up and to assess predictors of uptake among those who consented. Results Of the eligible pwMS and pwNIc in our service, 52.7% (233/440) requested a consultation and were included in this study. Consultation resulted in 71.7% of people (167/233) receiving the treatment. Of these, 94.0% (157/167) had received three or more COVID-19 vaccines. Among those who received a single dose of tixagevimab/cilgavimab, 19.16% (32/167) tested positive for COVID-19 during the observational window. The majority of these were on ocrelizumab (68.8% (22/32)). None of those with COVID-19 required hospitalisation or supplemental oxygen. There was no difference in odds of COVID-19 during the observation period between those who received and did not receive tixagevimab/cilgavimab (adjusted OR, aOR 2.16 (95% CI 0.82 to 6.85), p=0.43). Uptake of tixagevimab/cilgavimab was highest when offered at the hospital infusion centre (aOR 3.09 (95% CI 1.08 to 9.94) relative to referral to the local pharmacy, p=0.04). Conclusion Tixagevimab/cilgavimab administration did not protect against subsequent COVID-19 in our cohort. Compliance with uptake was influenced by administration location. Data are available on reasonable request.
背景 在澳大利亚,tixagevimab/cilgavimab 150 mg/150 mg是一种由政府资助的COVID-19暴露前预防药物,接受抗CD20抗体或1-磷酸鞘磷脂受体调节剂治疗的多发性硬化症(pwMS)和其他神经免疫疾病(pwNIc)患者符合条件。目标 分析 tixagevimab/cilgavimab 在预防和治疗 COVID-19 方面的推广、吸收和实际疗效。评估不同分娩地点对吸收的依从性。方法 我们开展了一项单中心研究。共有 440 名产妇和新生儿符合条件。采用逻辑回归法评估随访期间COVID-19的预测因素,并评估同意接受者中接受COVID-19的预测因素。结果 在我们服务的符合条件的住院病人和残疾人中,52.7%(233/440)要求进行咨询并被纳入本研究。咨询后,71.7% 的患者(167/233)接受了治疗。其中,94.0%(157/167)的人接种过三次或三次以上的 COVID-19 疫苗。在接受过单剂 tixagevimab/cilgavimab 治疗的患者中,19.16%(32/167)的人在观察窗口期检测出 COVID-19 阳性。其中大部分患者使用的是奥克雷珠单抗(68.8%(22/32))。COVID-19患者中没有人需要住院治疗或补充氧气。在观察期内,接受和未接受替沙吉单抗/西格维单抗治疗的患者发生COVID-19的几率没有差异(调整OR,aOR为2.16(95% CI为0.82至6.85),P=0.43)。医院输液中心提供的替沙吉单抗/西格维单抗的使用率最高(相对于转诊至当地药房,aOR 为 3.09 (95% CI 1.08 to 9.94),p=0.04)。结论 在我们的队列中,使用 Tixagevimab/cilgavimab 并不能预防后续 COVID-19 的发生。服药依从性受服药地点的影响。如有合理要求,可提供相关数据。

The majority of these were on ocrelizumab (68.8% (22/32)). None of those with COVID-19 required hospitalisation or supplemental oxygen. There was no difference in odds of COVID-19 during the observation period between those who received and did not receive tixagevimab/cilgavimab (adjusted OR, aOR 2.16 (95% CI 0.82 to 6.85), p=0.43). Uptake of tixagevimab/cilgavimab was highest when offered at the hospital infusion centre (aOR 3.09 (95% CI 1.08 to 9.94) relative to referral to the local pharmacy, p=0.04). Conclusion Tixagevimab/cilgavimab administration did not protect against subsequent COVID-19 in our cohort. Compliance with uptake was influenced by administration location. Data are available on reasonable request.","PeriodicalId":52754,"journal":{"name":"BMJ Neurology Open","volume":"2017 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140831314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background and purpose We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing CT angiography (CTA) and CT perfusion (CTP) for acute ischaemic stroke (AIS). Concerns over contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) often lead medical centres to mandate pre-imaging serum creatinine level assessments, causing unnecessary delays. We aim to confirm further the practice of conducting CTA/CTP without first testing creatinine. Methods We searched PubMed, Cochrane Central and Scopus from inception until March 2023 for studies reporting on AKI in patients with AIS receiving CTA/CTP. Outcomes of interest were (1) the odds of AKI in patients receiving CTA/CTP versus non-contrast CT and (2) the overall incidence of AKI and haemodialysis in patients with AIS undergoing CTA/CTP. Results Results were pooled using a random effects model. 13 studies were included (5 cohort and 8 single-arm studies) with 5104 patients in total, out of which 4347 patients received CTA/CTP and 757 patients received no contrast. In case–control studies, 4.8% (OR=0.66, 95% CI 0.35 to 1.22, Z=1.32, p=0.19) of patients who received CTA/CTP developed AKI, compared with 7.7% of patients in the control group. Temporary haemodialysis was required for two patients in the analysed studies. Conclusions Non-randomised evidence suggests that CTA/CTP is not associated with a statistically significant increase in the risk of AKI in patients with stroke. Further well-designed prospective studies are required to explore potential risk factors of CIN in specific patient populations such as diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease. All data relevant to the study are included in the article or uploaded as supplementary information.
背景和目的 我们进行了一项系统回顾和荟萃分析,以评估因急性缺血性卒中(AIS)而接受 CT 血管造影(CTA)和 CT 灌注(CTP)的患者中急性肾损伤(AKI)的发生率。对造影剂诱发肾病(CIN)的担忧常常导致医疗中心强制要求在成像前进行血清肌酐水平评估,从而造成不必要的延误。我们的目的是进一步确认在不首先检测肌酐的情况下进行 CTA/CTP 的做法。方法 我们检索了 PubMed、Cochrane Central 和 Scopus 上从开始到 2023 年 3 月有关接受 CTA/CTP 的 AIS 患者 AKI 的研究报告。我们感兴趣的结果是:(1) 接受 CTA/CTP 与非对比 CT 患者发生 AKI 的几率;(2) 接受 CTA/CTP 的 AIS 患者 AKI 和血液透析的总发生率。结果 采用随机效应模型对结果进行汇总。共纳入了 13 项研究(5 项队列研究和 8 项单臂研究),共计 5104 名患者,其中 4347 名患者接受了 CTA/CTP 检查,757 名患者未接受造影剂检查。在病例对照研究中,接受 CTA/CTP 的患者中有 4.8%(OR=0.66,95% CI 0.35 至 1.22,Z=1.32,P=0.19)发生了 AKI,而对照组中的患者为 7.7%。在分析的研究中,有两名患者需要进行临时血液透析。结论 非随机证据表明,CTA/CTP 与中风患者发生 AKI 风险的统计学显著增加无关。需要进一步开展设计良好的前瞻性研究,探讨特定患者群体(如糖尿病和慢性肾脏疾病)发生 CIN 的潜在风险因素。与该研究相关的所有数据均包含在文章中或作为补充信息上传。

Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) share similar pathological features, suggesting common genetic aetiologies between the two. Investigating gene associations between AD and AMD may provide useful insights into the underlying pathogenesis and inform integrated prevention and treatment for both diseases. Methods A stratified quantile–quantile (QQ) plot was constructed to detect the pleiotropy among AD and AMD based on genome-wide association studies data from 17 008 patients with AD and 30 178 patients with AMD. A Bayesian conditional false discovery rate-based (cFDR) method was used to identify pleiotropic genes. UK Biobank was used to verify the pleiotropy analysis. Biological network and enrichment analysis were conducted to explain the biological reason for pleiotropy phenomena. A diagnostic test based on gene expression data was used to predict biomarkers for AD and AMD based on pleiotropic genes and their regulators. Results Significant pleiotropy was found between AD and AMD (significant leftward shift on QQ plots). APOC1 and APOE were identified as pleiotropic genes for AD–AMD (cFDR <0.01). Network analysis revealed that APOC1 and APOE occupied borderline positions on the gene co-expression networks. Both APOC1 and APOE genes were enriched on the herpes simplex virus 1 infection pathway. Further, machine learning-based diagnostic tests identified that APOC1, APOE (areas under the curve (AUCs) >0.65) and their upstream regulators, especially ZNF131, ADNP2 and HINFP, could be potential biomarkers for both AD and AMD (AUCs >0.8). Conclusion In this study, we confirmed the genetic pleiotropy between AD and AMD and identified APOC1 and APOE as pleiotropic genes. Further, the integration of multiomics data identified ZNF131, ADNP2 and HINFP as novel diagnostic biomarkers for AD and AMD. Data are available in a public, open access repository.

背景阿尔茨海默病(AD)和老年性黄斑变性(AMD)具有相似的病理特征,表明两者之间存在共同的遗传病因。研究阿尔茨海默病和老年性黄斑变性之间的基因关联可能有助于深入了解其潜在的发病机制,并为这两种疾病的综合预防和治疗提供依据。方法 基于17 008例AD患者和30 178例AMD患者的全基因组关联研究数据,构建了分层量纲-量纲(QQ)图,以检测AD和AMD之间的多重性。使用基于贝叶斯条件假发现率(cFDR)的方法来识别多向性基因。英国生物库用于验证多效性分析。进行了生物网络和富集分析,以解释多效性现象的生物学原因。使用基于基因表达数据的诊断测试,根据多效基因及其调控因子预测AD和AMD的生物标志物。结果 发现 AD 和 AMD 之间存在显著的多效性(QQ 图上显著左移)。APOC1和APOE被确定为AD-AMD的多效基因(cFDR 0.65),其上游调控因子,尤其是ZNF131、ADNP2和HINFP,可成为AD和AMD的潜在生物标志物(AUC>0.8)。结论 在这项研究中,我们证实了AD和AMD之间的遗传多效性,并确定了APOC1和APOE为多效基因。此外,通过整合多组学数据,我们发现 ZNF131、ADNP2 和 HINFP 是新型的 AD 和 AMD 诊断生物标记物。数据可在公开、开放的资源库中获取。GWAS数据的GRASP数据库();基因表达数据的GTEx数据库();基因表达数据的GEO数据库();GWAS数据的英国生物库()。

Background Essential tremor (ET) is a movement disorder that affects 4%–5% of adults >65 years. For patients with medically refractory ET, neurosurgical interventions such as deep brain stimulation (DBS) and unilateral MR-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy (MRgFUS) are available. In this retrospective cohort study, we examined the demographics of patients with ET who have received MRgFUS and evaluated trends in DBS usage in the USA after the introduction of MRgFUS in 2016. Methods We used multiple databases to examine the demographics of patients who received DBS and MRgFUS, and trends in DBS. To assess the demographics, we queried the TriNetX database from 2003 to 2022 to identify patients diagnosed with ET and stratify them by DBS or MRgFUS treatment by using Current Procedural Terminology codes. Patient demographics were reported as frequencies and percentages. To examine the trends in DBS for ET, the yearly frequency of DBS procedures done for ET between 2012 and 2019 was extracted from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database, and breakpoint analysis was performed. Additionally, the yearly frequency of MRgFUS procedures for ET was obtained from Insightec Exlabate. Results Most of the patients (88.69%) in the cohort extracted from TriNetX database self-identified as white, followed by black or African American (2.40%) and Asian (0.52%). A higher percentage of black patients received MRgFUS treatment than DBS (4.10% vs 1.88%). According to the NIS database, from 2012 to 2020, 13 525 patients received DBS for ET. Conclusion This study provides an overview of the characteristics of patients who undergo DBS or MRgFUS. We found notable differences in sex and race among patients who underwent each treatment type. Additionally, until at least the beginning of 2020, the number of DBS procedures for ET was not negatively affected after the introduction of MRgFUS. Data may be obtained from a third party and are not publicly available. The data that support the findings of this study are available from TriNETx Healthcare Network, National Inpatient Sample and Insightec Exablate. Restrictions apply to the availability of these data, which were used under license for this study.
背景 要性震颤(ET)是一种运动障碍,4%-5% 年龄大于 65 岁的成年人都会受到影响。对于药物难治性 ET 患者,可以采用脑深部刺激(DBS)和单侧 MR 引导聚焦超声丘脑切开术(MRgFUS)等神经外科干预措施。在这项回顾性队列研究中,我们考察了接受过 MRgFUS 治疗的 ET 患者的人口统计学特征,并评估了 2016 年 MRgFUS 引入美国后 DBS 的使用趋势。方法 我们利用多个数据库研究了接受 DBS 和 MRgFUS 治疗的患者的人口统计学特征以及 DBS 的使用趋势。为了评估人口统计学特征,我们查询了 2003 年至 2022 年的 TriNetX 数据库,以确定诊断为 ET 的患者,并通过当前程序术语代码将他们按 DBS 或 MRgFUS 治疗进行分层。患者的人口统计学特征以频率和百分比的形式进行报告。为了研究 DBS 治疗 ET 的趋势,我们从全国住院患者样本 (NIS) 数据库中提取了 2012 年至 2019 年期间每年因 ET 而进行 DBS 治疗的频率,并进行了断点分析。此外,还从 Insightec Exlabate 中获得了 ET MRgFUS 手术的年度频率。结果 在从 TriNetX 数据库提取的队列中,大多数患者(88.69%)自我认同为白人,其次是黑人或非裔美国人(2.40%)和亚裔(0.52%)。接受 MRgFUS 治疗的黑人患者比例高于 DBS(4.10% 对 1.88%)。根据 NIS 数据库,从 2012 年到 2020 年,共有 13 525 名患者接受了 DBS 治疗 ET。结论 本研究概述了接受 DBS 或 MRgFUS 治疗的患者的特征。我们发现,接受每种治疗的患者在性别和种族方面都存在显著差异。此外,至少在 2020 年初之前,DBS 治疗 ET 的数量不会因为 MRgFUS 的引入而受到负面影响。数据可能来自第三方,不对外公开。支持本研究结果的数据可从 TriNETx 医疗保健网络、全国住院患者样本和 Insightec Exablate 获得。这些数据的可用性受到限制,本研究在获得许可的情况下使用这些数据。

Background The landscape of stroke care has shifted from stand-alone hospitals to cooperative networks among hospitals. Despite the importance of these networks, limited information exists on their characteristics and functional attributes. Methods We extracted patient-level data on acute stroke care and hospital connectivity by integrating national stroke audit data with reimbursement claims data. We then used this information to transform interhospital transfers into a network framework, where hospitals were designated as nodes and transfers as edges. Using the Louvain algorithm, we grouped densely connected hospitals into distinct stroke care communities. The quality and characteristics in given stroke communities were analysed, and their distinct types were derived using network parameters. The clinical implications of this network model were also explored. Results Over 6 months, 19 113 patients with acute ischaemic stroke initially presented to 1009 hospitals, with 3114 (16.3%) transferred to 246 stroke care hospitals. These connected hospitals formed 93 communities, with a median of 9 hospitals treating a median of 201 patients. Derived communities demonstrated a modularity of 0.904, indicating a strong community structure, highly centralised around one or two hubs. Three distinct types of structures were identified: single-hub (n=60), double-hub (n=22) and hubless systems (n=11). The endovascular treatment rate was highest in double-hub systems, followed by single-hub systems, and was almost zero in hubless systems. The hubless communities were characterised by lower patient volumes, fewer hospitals, no hub hospital and no stroke unit. Conclusions This network analysis could quantify the national stroke care system and point out areas where the organisation and functionality of acute stroke care could be improved.

背景 中风治疗的格局已从独立医院转变为医院间的合作网络。尽管这些网络非常重要,但有关其特点和功能属性的信息却非常有限。方法 我们通过整合国家卒中审计数据和报销申请数据,提取了患者层面的急性卒中救治数据和医院连接数据。然后,我们利用这些信息将医院间转运转化为网络框架,其中医院被指定为节点,转运被指定为边。利用卢万算法,我们将连接紧密的医院划分为不同的卒中救治社区。我们对特定卒中社区的质量和特征进行了分析,并利用网络参数得出了它们的不同类型。我们还探讨了这一网络模型的临床意义。结果 6 个月内,19 113 名急性缺血性脑卒中患者最初在 1009 家医院就诊,其中 3114 人(16.3%)转入 246 家脑卒中治疗医院。这些相连的医院形成了 93 个社区,中位数为 9 家医院,中位数为 201 名患者。衍生社区的模块化程度为 0.904,表明社区结构很强,高度集中在一个或两个中心周围。研究发现了三种不同类型的结构:单枢纽系统(60 个)、双枢纽系统(22 个)和无枢纽系统(11 个)。双枢纽系统的血管内治疗率最高,其次是单枢纽系统,而无枢纽系统的血管内治疗率几乎为零。无枢纽社区的特点是患者量少、医院少、无枢纽医院和卒中单元。结论 该网络分析可量化全国脑卒中救治系统,并指出急性脑卒中救治的组织和功能有待改 进的领域。数据经韩国健康保险审查与评估服务(HIRA)许可后提供。由于本研究使用的是政府所有的数据库,因此需要特别许可才能使用。

Background The shift towards milder strokes and studies suggesting that stroke symptoms vary by age and sex may challenge the Face-Arm-Speech Time (FAST) coverage. We aimed to study the proportion of stroke cases admitted with FAST symptoms, sex and age differences in FAST presentation and explore any additional advantage of including new item(s) from the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) to the FAST algorithm. Methods This registry-based study included patients admitted with acute stroke to Sahlgrenska University Hospital (November 2014 to June 2019) with NIHSS items at admission. FAST symptoms were extracted from the NIHSS at admission, and sex and age differences were explored using descriptive statistics. Results Of 5022 patients, 46% were women. Median NIHSS at admission for women was (2 (8–0) and for men 2 (7–0)). In total, 2972 (59%) had at least one FAST symptom, with no sex difference (p=0.22). No sex or age differences were found in FAST coverage when stratifying for stroke severity. 52% suffered mild strokes, whereas 30% had FAST symptoms. The most frequent focal NIHSS items not included in FAST were sensory (29%) and visual field (25%) and adding these or both in modified FAST algorithms led to a slight increase in strokes captured by the algorithms (59%–67%), without providing enhanced prognostic information. Conclusions 60% had at least one FAST symptom at admission, only 30% in mild strokes, with no sex or age difference. Adding new items from the NIHSS to the FAST algorithm led only to a slight increase in strokes captured. Data are available upon reasonable request. Data from registries are subject to the Personal Data Act (Swedish law No SFS 1998:204). Data may be available to researchers upon request, after review of secrecy (contact the author ks.sunnerhagen@neuro.gu.se). According to the Swedish regulation (epn.se/en/start/regulations/), the permission to use data can only be according to application and approval from the ethical board.
背景 脑卒中向轻度脑卒中的转变以及有关脑卒中症状因年龄和性别而异的研究可能会对 "面-臂-言语时间"(FAST)的覆盖范围提出挑战。我们的目的是研究具有 FAST 症状的入院脑卒中病例比例、FAST 表现的性别和年龄差异,并探讨将美国国立卫生研究院脑卒中量表 (NIHSS) 的新项目纳入 FAST 算法是否会带来额外优势。方法 这项以登记为基础的研究纳入了 Sahlgrenska 大学医院收治的急性卒中患者(2014 年 11 月至 2019 年 6 月),患者入院时具有 NIHSS 项目。从入院时的 NIHSS 中提取 FAST 症状,并使用描述性统计学方法探讨性别和年龄差异。结果 5022 名患者中,46% 为女性。入院时女性 NIHSS 中位数为 2(8-0),男性为 2(7-0)。共有 2972 名患者(59%)至少有一种 FAST 症状,无性别差异(P=0.22)。根据中风严重程度进行分层后,FAST 的覆盖率没有发现性别或年龄差异。52% 的患者为轻度脑卒中,而 30% 的患者有 FAST 症状。未纳入 FAST 的最常见病灶 NIHSS 项目是感觉(29%)和视野(25%),在改进的 FAST 算法中增加这两项或两项会使算法捕获的脑卒中略有增加(59%-67%),但不会提供更好的预后信息。结论 60% 的患者在入院时至少有一种 FAST 症状,只有 30% 的患者为轻度脑卒中,且无性别或年龄差异。在 FAST 算法中增加 NIHSS 的新项目只会使捕捉到的脑卒中略有增加。数据可在合理要求下提供。登记处的数据受《个人数据法》(瑞典法律编号 SFS 1998:204)管辖。经保密审查后,研究人员可索取数据(请联系作者 ks.sunnerhagen@neuro.gu.se)。根据瑞典法规 (epn.se/en/start/regulations/),只有在提出申请并获得伦理委员会批准后才能使用数据。
