Objective

Carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs) are rare arteriovenous communications allowing blood to flow from the carotid artery into the cavernous sinus. Although currently coil and/or liquid embolization remain the preferred treatment methods for CCFs, flow diverters (FD) stents represent a viable alternative to traditional embolization techniques. This study explores both the technical aspects and rationale behind using FD stents as a stand-alone treatment approach for CCFs.

Methods

The study includes records of 7 patients with CCFs treated at two comprehensive stroke centers from 2019 to 2023. Patients treated with FD stenting in conjunction with coil and/or liquid embolization were excluded from the study.

Results

Five patients were diagnosed with direct CCFs and 2 patients with indirect CCFs. Six patients were treated with the Surpass Evolve FD stent and 1 patient with the Pipeline FD stent. DSA follow-up was performed for an average duration of 14.4 months following FD placement. Complete fistula obliteration with no residual shunting was observed in all patients. Furthermore, all patients experienced a complete resolution of symptoms following treatment.

Conclusions

The authors’ experiences suggest the efficacy and safety of FD stenting as a stand-alone treatment option for CCFs. Compared to embolization, FD stents can better preserve the parent vessel and promote healing with less associated mass effect. Despite being a retrospective self-assessment with a relatively small sample size, to the authors’ knowledge, this study represents the largest individual case series of patients with CCF treated with stand-alone FD stenting.
目的:颈动脉海绵窦瘘(CCF)是一种罕见的动静脉沟通疾病,可使血液从颈动脉流入海绵窦。尽管目前线圈和/或液体栓塞仍是治疗 CCF 的首选方法,但血流分流(FD)支架是传统栓塞技术的可行替代方案。本研究探讨了将 FD 支架作为单独治疗 CCFs 方法的技术方面和原理:研究包括 2019 年至 2023 年期间在两家综合卒中中心治疗的 7 名 CCFs 患者的记录。研究排除了使用 FD 支架与线圈和/或液体栓塞联合治疗的患者:5名患者被诊断为直接CCF,2名患者被诊断为间接CCF。六名患者接受了 Surpass Evolve FD 支架治疗,一名患者接受了 Pipeline FD 支架治疗。放置 FD 后,进行了平均 14.4 个月的 DSA 随访。所有患者的瘘管均完全闭塞,没有残余分流。此外,所有患者在治疗后症状均完全消失:作者的经验表明,FD 支架植入术作为一种独立的 CCF 治疗方案,具有良好的疗效和安全性。与栓塞治疗相比,FD 支架能更好地保护母血管并促进愈合,同时减少相关的肿块效应。尽管这是一项样本量相对较小的回顾性自我评估,但据作者所知,这项研究代表了单独使用 FD 支架治疗 CCF 患者的最大个体病例系列。

Background

Post-stroke depression (PSD) is the most prevalent neuropsychological disorder among stroke patients, affecting approximately one-third of stroke survivors at any one time after a stroke. We identified between-person associations between post-stroke depression trajectories across 3 timepoints and predictors affecting trajectory classification among stroke patients.

Methods

This is a prospective longitudinal study using a convenience sample of 119 participants from 2 tertiary hospitals from March 2022 to September 2022. Clinical assessments and data collection were performed at diagnosis (T1), 3 months (T2), and 6 months (T3) after diagnosis. The instruments were Demographic and Disease Information Sheet and PROMIS-Depression 8a. Data were analyzed using SPSS 27.0 for descriptive statistics, logistic regression, and the Mplus program for growth mixture model analysis.

Results

Two stroke survivors depression trajectory classes (Class 1, moderate level decreasing- [37.8 %], and Class 2, high level increasing- [62.2%]) were delineated. Class 1 experienced moderate depression post-stroke, with a smooth diminishing pattern at T2 and T3, while Class 2 had a higher baseline depressive score and a significant increase at T2 and T3. The best growth mixture model was Class 2 model (LMR, p=0.010, BLRT, p≤0.01, AIC=2611.934, BIC=2650.842, aBIC=2606.583, Entropy= 0.944). The logistic regression results revealed that Class 2 of depression trajectory had a significant association with a lower score on cognitive function (B=-5.29, 95%CI: -8.80, -1.78, p <0.05) compared with Class 1. The stroke type, marital status, and monthly income were predictors of the Class 2 depression trajectory group among stroke patients. Precisely, ischemic stroke is associated with lower risk of class 2 trajectory.

Conclusion

The trajectory of post-stroke depression changes over time. This research has the potential to serve as a foundation for the assessment of high-risk stroke patients, the development of precise management programs, the implementation of risk stratification, and the enhancement of prognosis.
背景:卒中后抑郁(PSD)是卒中患者中最常见的神经心理障碍,约有三分之一的卒中幸存者在卒中后的任何时间都会受到影响。我们确定了中风后抑郁轨迹在 3 个时间点上的人际关联以及影响中风患者轨迹分类的预测因素:这是一项前瞻性纵向研究,从 2022 年 3 月至 2022 年 9 月对两家三甲医院的 119 名参与者进行了方便抽样调查。临床评估和数据收集分别在诊断时(T1)、诊断后 3 个月(T2)和 6 个月(T3)进行。评估工具为人口与疾病信息表和 PROMIS 抑郁 8a。数据分析采用 SPSS 27.0 进行描述性统计、逻辑回归和 Mplus 程序进行生长混合模型分析:结果:划分出两个中风幸存者抑郁轨迹等级(1 级,中度抑郁--[37.8%];2 级,高度抑郁--[62.2%])。第 1 类患者在卒中后出现中度抑郁,在 T2 和 T3 阶段呈平稳递减模式,而第 2 类患者的基线抑郁评分较高,在 T2 和 T3 阶段显著增加。最佳增长混合模型为 2 类模型(LMR,p=0.010,BLRT,p≤0.01,AIC=2611.934,BIC=2650.842,aBIC=2606.583,熵=0.944)。逻辑回归结果显示,抑郁轨迹 2 与认知功能得分较低有显著相关性(B=-5.29,95%CI:-8.80,-1.78,P 结论:抑郁轨迹 2 与认知功能得分较低有显著相关性:卒中后抑郁的轨迹会随着时间的推移而改变。这项研究有望为评估高危卒中患者、制定精确的管理方案、实施风险分层和改善预后奠定基础。

Objectives

Since the introduction of thrombolytics, stroke teams evolved to improve thrombolytic care delivery. The impact of the advent of endovascular therapy on the composition of acute stroke teams is unknown.

Materials and Methods

A two-part pilot-tested survey was deployed to site-Principal Investigators (PIs) of the 27 StrokeNet Regional Coordinating Centers (RCCs) regarding institutional acute stroke teams. Part A inquired about the participation of personnel in each type of stroke response. Part B identified stroke team physicians and the types of responses in which they participate to assess training background of stroke team members.

Results

Response rates for Part A and B were 66% and 48%, respectively. In Part A, 67% (12/18) of sites reported trainees always responded to ED stroke activations with significant autonomy. 44% (7/16) and 27% (4/15) of sites reported NP and PA response to ED stroke alerts, respectively, but with limited autonomy. In Part B, 124 physicians involved in ED stroke alerts were identified, the large majority of whom (79%, 95% CI: 71-85) were vascular neurology trained. The 39 (23%) stroke team members involved in endovascular therapy had the following training: 49% (34-64) neurosurgery, 28% (17-44) radiology, 18% (9-33) vascular neurology 5% (1-16) neurology.

Conclusions

We identified modest heterogeneity in the composition of acute stroke team members across StrokeNet RCCs. Individuals performing endovascular therapy had a variety of clinical specializations, reflecting the evolving multidisciplinary nature of interventional acute stroke care. At StrokeNet RCCs, teams have significant trainee involvement in both ED and inpatient acute stroke responses.
目的:自溶栓药物问世以来,卒中团队不断发展,以改善溶栓治疗服务。目前尚不清楚血管内治疗的出现对急性卒中团队组成的影响:向 27 个 StrokeNet 区域协调中心 (RCC) 的现场首席研究员 (PI) 发送了一份由两部分组成的试点调查,内容涉及机构急性卒中团队。A 部分调查人员参与各类卒中响应的情况。B 部分确定了卒中团队医生及其参与的应对类型,以评估卒中团队成员的培训背景:A 部分和 B 部分的回复率分别为 66% 和 48%。在 A 部分中,67%(12/18)的医疗点报告说,受训人员总是以极大的自主权对急诊室卒中启动做出响应。44%(7/16)和 27%(4/15)的医疗点报告 NP 和 PA 对急诊室卒中警报做出响应,但自主权有限。B 部分确定了 124 名参与 ED 卒中警报的医生,其中绝大多数 79% (95% CI:71-85)接受过血管神经科培训。参与血管内治疗的 39 名卒中团队成员(23%)接受过以下培训:49%(34-64)神经外科、28%(17-44)放射科、18%(9-33)血管神经科、5%(1-16)神经内科:我们发现,StrokeNet 区域协调中心的急性卒中团队成员组成存在一定的异质性。进行血管内治疗的人员具有不同的临床专业,这反映了急性卒中介入治疗的多学科性质在不断发展。在 StrokeNet 区域协调中心,团队中有大量受训人员参与急诊室和住院部的急性卒中救治。

Background

Oral anticoagulation (OAC) is a risk factor for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) which is an important source of disability and mortality. OAC-associated ICH (OAC-ICH) patients have worse outcomes as compared to ICH patients not on OAC, likely because of the associated larger stroke volumes, higher propensity to intraventricular hemorrhage, and a higher risk of rebleeding. Although current guidelines recommend that OAC should be reversed quickly, many health care systems have not developed a process for optimizing that aspect of care.

Methods

Through the IMPROVE Stroke Care Consortium, a group of nine Hub hospitals and their 57 regional community hospitals, a systems of care improvement project was implemented. Performance reviews identified best practices which were disseminated throughout all centers. We compared the median door-to-reversal (DTR) time before and after an institutional campaign to speed the process with a target time of 60 min.

Results

Over two years of the study, there were 6,699 ischemic strokes, 152 subarachnoid hemorrhages, and 889 intracerebral hemorrhages. During that time, 73 ICH patients received reversal agents emergently. The overall baseline median DTR time was 123 min (IQR 99, 361 minutes). By the end of the program, the median DTR time had trended down to 84 min (IQR 58.5, 151 min) which is a 31.7 % reduction of DTR from baseline, though times remained somewhat variable (p=0.08).

Conclusions

An integrated stroke systems of care approach was associated with a reduction in DTR times for patients presenting with acute ICH and concurrent use of anticoagulants despite lack of definitive guidelines around targets for OAC reversal times or operational guidance on protocols and agents.
背景:口服抗凝药(OAC)是脑内出血(ICH)的一个危险因素,是导致残疾和死亡的一个重要原因。与未服用 OAC 的 ICH 患者相比,OAC 相关 ICH(OAC-ICH)患者的预后较差,这可能是因为相关的卒中体积较大、脑室内出血倾向较高以及再出血风险较高。尽管目前的指南建议应迅速逆转 OAC,但许多医疗系统尚未制定出优化这方面护理的流程:通过 IMPROVE 中风护理联盟(由 9 家枢纽医院及其 57 家地区社区医院组成),实施了一项护理系统改进项目。绩效评估确定了最佳实践,并在所有中心推广。我们比较了以 60 分钟为目标加快流程的机构运动前后的门到转运(DTR)时间中位数:在两年的研究中,共发生了 6699 例缺血性脑卒中、152 例蛛网膜下腔出血和 889 例脑出血。在此期间,73 名 ICH 患者紧急接受了逆转剂治疗。总体基线中位 DTR 时间为 123 分钟(IQR 99 - 361 分钟)。计划结束时,中位 DTR 时间已降至 84 分钟(IQR 58.5 - 151 分钟),与基线相比减少了 31.7%,但时间仍存在一定的差异(P=0.08):结论:尽管缺乏有关 OAC 逆转时间目标的明确指南或有关方案和药物的操作指南,但综合卒中系统护理方法可缩短急性 ICH 患者的 DTR 时间,并可同时使用抗凝药物。

Objectives

Symptomatic carotid web is an increasingly recognized cause of acute ischemic stroke with a high risk of recurrent ischemic events despite aggressive medical interventions. Surgical interventions including transfemoral carotid artery stenting (TFCAS) and carotid endarterectomy have been described to reduce this risk, but transcarotid arterial revascularization (TCAR) has not been evaluated for this purpose.

Materials and methods

Patients with cerebral ischemia from carotid web underwent TCAR with flow reversal. Patients were monitored for periprocedural complications and assessed at follow-up for clinical evidence of recurrent ischemia.

Results

Six cases over the course of 21 months were identified, 2 males and 4 females with a median age of 59.5 (interquartile range of 39). All underwent technically successful TCAR without periprocedural complications no post-procedural cerebral ischemia over a median follow-up time of 21 months.

Conclusions

In this small series of patients, TCAR provided a safe and effective treatment of carotid webs that had previously caused cerebral ischemia.
目的:无症状颈动脉网越来越被认为是急性缺血性脑卒中的原因之一,尽管采取了积极的医疗干预措施,但其复发缺血性脑卒中的风险很高。包括经股动脉颈动脉支架置入术(TFCAS)和颈动脉内膜剥脱术在内的外科干预措施可降低这一风险,但经颈动脉血运重建术(TCAR)尚未为此进行评估:颈动脉网引起脑缺血的患者接受了血流逆转的经颈动脉动脉血管再通术(TCAR)。对患者进行围手术期并发症监测,并在随访时评估是否有复发缺血的临床证据:在21个月的时间里,共发现了6例患者,其中2男4女,中位年龄为59.5岁(四分位间范围为39岁)。中位随访时间为 21 个月,所有患者均成功接受了 TCAR 手术,术后无并发症,无术后脑缺血:在这一小批患者中,TCAR能安全有效地治疗曾导致脑缺血的颈动脉蹼。

Objective

To compare changes in cognitive trajectories after stroke between younger (18-64) and older (65+) adults, accounting for pre-stroke cognitive trajectories.

Materials and methods

Pooled cohort study using individual participant data from 3 US cohorts (1971-2019), the Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities Study (ARIC), Framingham Offspring Study (FOS), and REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke Study (REGARDS). Linear mixed effect models evaluated the association between age and the initial change (intercept) and rate of change (slope) in cognition after compared to before stroke. Outcomes were global cognition (primary), memory and executive function.

Results

We included 1,292 participants with stroke; 197 younger (47.2 % female, 32.5 % Black race) and 1,095 older (50.2 % female, 46.4 % Black race). Median (IQR) age at stroke was 59.7 (56.6-61.7) (younger group) and 75.2 (70.5-80.2) years (older group). Compared to the young, older participants had greater declines in global cognition (-1.69 point [95 % CI, -2.82 to -0.55] greater), memory (-1.05 point [95 % CI, -1.92 to -0.17] greater), and executive function (-3.72 point [95 % CI, -5.23 to -2.21] greater) initially after stroke. Older age was associated with faster declines in global cognition (-0.18 points per year [95 % CI, -0.36 to -0.01] faster) and executive function (-0.16 [95 % CI, -0.26 to -0.06] points per year for every 10 years of higher age), but not memory (-0.006 [95 % CI, -0.15 to 0.14]), after compared to before stroke.

Conclusion

Older age was associated with greater post-stroke cognitive declines, accounting for differences in pre-stroke cognitive trajectories between the old and the young.
目的:比较年轻人(18-64 岁)和老年人(65 岁以上)中风后认知轨迹的变化:比较年轻人(18-64 岁)和老年人(65 岁以上)中风后认知轨迹的变化,同时考虑中风前的认知轨迹:使用 3 个美国队列(1971-2019 年)的个人参与者数据进行汇总队列研究,这 3 个美国队列分别是社区动脉粥样硬化风险研究(ARIC)、弗雷明汉后代研究(FOS)和中风的地域和种族差异原因研究(REGARDS)。线性混合效应模型评估了年龄与认知能力的初始变化(截距)和变化率(斜率)之间的关系。结果包括总体认知(主要)、记忆和执行功能:我们纳入了 1,292 名中风患者,其中年轻患者 197 人(女性占 47.2%,黑人占 32.5%),年长者 1,095 人(女性占 50.2%,黑人占 46.4%)。中风时的中位(IQR)年龄为 59.7(56.6-61.7)岁(年轻组)和 75.2(70.5-80.2)岁(老年组)。与年轻人相比,老年参与者在中风后初期的整体认知(-1.69 分 [95 % CI, -2.82 to -0.55])、记忆(-1.05 分 [95 % CI, -1.92 to -0.17])和执行功能(-3.72 分 [95 % CI, -5.23 to -2.21])下降幅度更大。与脑卒中前相比,年龄越大,脑卒中后总体认知(每年下降 0.18 分 [95 % CI, -0.36 到 -0.01])和执行功能(年龄每增加 10 岁,每年下降 0.16 分 [95 % CI, -0.26 到 -0.06])下降越快,但记忆力(-0.006 [95 % CI, -0.15 到 0.14])下降不明显:结论:年龄越大,脑卒中后认知能力下降的幅度越大,这与老年人和年轻人脑卒中前认知轨迹的差异有关。

Background

Post-stroke seizure (PSS) increases morbidity and mortality after ischemic stroke, but a comprehensive understanding of its incidence and risk factors is lacking. We report the rate and risk factors of PSS at a single institution.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study of adult acute ischemic stroke patients between 2018 and 2022 at a comprehensive stroke center was conducted. Patients with a history of seizures, additional stroke during index admission, or death within 7 days of stroke onset were excluded. Early PSS was defined as a new seizure occurring ≤7 days after stroke onset, while late PSS occurred >7 days after stroke onset. Multivariable logistic regression and cox proportional hazard analysis was conducted.

Results

1211 participants met inclusion criteria. Patients were a mean age of 67.82 and were primarily male (58.7 %), white (72.6 %), and non-Hispanic (91.9 %). Incidence of PSS was 8.8 % (n = 106), of which 53.8 % (n = 57) were early and 46.2 % (n = 49) were late. Bivariate analysis identified younger age, diabetes, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score ≤5, cortical involvement, and hemorrhagic transformation as significant in the development of PSS. Multivariable cox proportional hazard analysis identified cortical involvement (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.31, 95 % confidence interval [CI] [1,29, 4.14]), NIHSS ≥ 21 (HR: 1.82, 95 % CI [1.02, 3.22]),and younger age (HR: 0.97, 95 % CI [0.96, 0.98]) as significant PSS predictors.

Conclusion

PSS occurred in 8.8 % of patients presenting with ischemic stroke. Hemorrhagic transformation, cortical involvement, high NIHSS, and younger age were significant predictors of PSS.

Introduction

Several biomarkers have proven prognostic value for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. Red cell distribution width (RDW) has been associated with several diseases and all-cause mortality and suggested as an independent predictor of Ischemic Stroke severity and outcome. This study aimed to investigate RDW as an independent predictor of functional outcome and death in the 3 months following AIS.

Methods

Patients with AIS were divided in four groups according to the quartile of the RDW value at admission. Baseline characteristics of patients in each RDW quartile were compared by Chi-square or Kruskal-Wallis tests, as applicable. We prospectively analyzed the patients for functional outcome in the 3 months following the event. Functional outcome (dichotomized as independent [0-2] or dependent [>2] according to the modified Rankin Scale score) and 90-day mortality was compared between the 4 groups. To conduct this evaluation, univariable and multivariable binary logistic regression analysis for functional independence and mortality at 3 months was conducted, considering the variables previously identified as potential confounders.

Results

The study's final population was of 416 patients. The patients in higher RDW quartiles were older (p<0.001), had lower blood hemoglobin (p<0.001), higher C reactive protein levels (p=0.017), higher BNP values (p<0.001) and more frequently suffered from atrial fibrillation (p=0.015) and heart failure (p=0.004). Univariate analysis showed a negative association between RDW-Q4 and independence at 3 months (p=0.024), which wasn't verified in the multivariate analysis (p=0.871). Univariate analysis also identified a positive association between RDW-Q4 and 90-day mortality (p=0.049), which was not confirmed in the multivariate analysis (p=0.289).

Conclusions

When adjusted to potential confounders, RDW does not predict functional outcome or death in the 90 days after acute ischemic stroke.
导言:一些生物标志物已被证实对急性缺血性卒中(AIS)患者具有预后价值。红细胞分布宽度(RDW)与多种疾病和全因死亡率相关,被认为是缺血性卒中严重程度和预后的独立预测指标。本研究旨在调查红细胞分布宽度作为缺血性脑卒中后 3 个月内功能预后和死亡的独立预测指标的情况。方法根据入院时红细胞分布宽度值的四分位数将缺血性脑卒中患者分为四组。根据情况采用Chi-square检验或Kruskal-Wallis检验比较各RDW四分位数患者的基线特征。我们对患者在事件发生后 3 个月内的功能结果进行了前瞻性分析。我们比较了 4 组患者的功能预后(根据修正的 Rankin 量表评分,分为独立型 [0-2] 和依赖型 [>2])和 90 天死亡率。为了进行这项评估,我们对 3 个月时的功能独立性和死亡率进行了单变量和多变量二元逻辑回归分析,并考虑了之前确定为潜在混杂因素的变量。RDW 四分位数越高的患者年龄越大(p<0.001),血红蛋白越低(p<0.001),C 反应蛋白水平越高(p=0.017),BNP 值越高(p<0.001),心房颤动(p=0.015)和心力衰竭(p=0.004)的发生率越高。单变量分析显示,RDW-Q4与3个月时的独立性之间存在负相关(p=0.024),但在多变量分析中并未得到验证(p=0.871)。单变量分析还发现 RDW-Q4 与 90 天死亡率呈正相关(p=0.049),但在多变量分析中未得到证实(p=0.289)。

Background

Data from the Centers for Disease Control show that approximately one-quarter of adults have elevated triglyceride (TG) levels. Some clinical trials, but not all, have demonstrated that pharmacologic treatment of high TG levels in patients already on statin therapy reduces the rate of major vascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke. We assessed the prevalence of elevated TG levels in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis (CS), and medical conditions associated with high TG.

Methods

Baseline lipid profiles from patients enrolled in the Carotid Revascularization and Medical Management for Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis Trial (CREST 2) were analyzed. to determine treatment eligibility for high TG levels using the criteria established by the REDUCE-IT trial (triglyceride levels ≥150 mg/dL with LDL managed by a statin to <100 mg/dL). Equally assessed was the percentage of patients who were using pharmacologic treatment for high TG levels at study entry. Demographic factors and baseline medical conditions associated with high (>150 mg/dl) TG values were also analyzed. Chi-square and t=tests were used to assess baseline factors and abnormal TG values.

Results

As of October 2023, of 2377 randomized CREST-2 patients, 2328 (98 %) (mean age 70.0 years, 63 % men) had baseline lipid profiles suitable for analysis. Among 1961 (84 %) patients who met REDUCE-IT criteria, analysis of lipid profiles revealed that 20.5 % of the patients were eligible for treatment of high triglycerides. Of the 1464 patients with fasting lipid profiles, 17.8 % were eligible for treatment. The median TG value was 205 (IQR 91) mg/dl in the total population. TG levels of 150 mg/dl or higher were strongly associated with hypertension, diabetes, obesity, high hemoglobin A1c, and reduced physical activity (all p<0.0001).

Conclusions

Elevated TG levels are strongly associated with diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and reduced physical activity. Further research is needed on whether treatment of elevated TG levels in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis confers benefit.
背景疾病控制中心的数据显示,约四分之一的成年人甘油三酯(TG)水平升高。一些临床试验(但并非所有临床试验)表明,对已接受他汀类药物治疗的患者进行药物治疗,可降低心肌梗死和中风等主要血管事件的发生率。我们评估了无症状颈动脉狭窄(CS)患者中 TG 水平升高的发生率,以及与高 TG 相关的病症。方法分析了颈动脉血管重建和无症状颈动脉狭窄医疗管理试验(CREST 2)入组患者的血脂基线图,以确定是否有资格使用 REDUCE-IT 试验制定的标准(甘油三酯水平≥150 mg/dL,低密度脂蛋白由他汀类药物控制在 100 mg/dL)治疗高 TG 水平。同样进行评估的还有在研究开始时使用药物治疗高甘油三酯水平的患者比例。此外,还分析了与高 TG 值(150 毫克/分升)相关的人口统计学因素和基线医疗条件。结果截至 2023 年 10 月,在 2377 名随机 CREST-2 患者中,有 2328 人(98%)(平均年龄 70.0 岁,63% 为男性)的基线血脂状况适合分析。在 1961 名(84%)符合 REDUCE-IT 标准的患者中,血脂分析显示 20.5% 的患者符合治疗甘油三酯高的条件。在有空腹血脂图谱的 1464 名患者中,17.8% 符合治疗条件。全部患者的甘油三酯中位值为 205(IQR 91)毫克/分升。结论总胆固醇水平升高与糖尿病、高血压、肥胖和体力活动减少密切相关。需要进一步研究治疗无症状颈动脉狭窄患者升高的 TG 水平是否会带来益处。

Objectives

Over the last decade, direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) have become preferred over warfarin for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF). The objectives of this study were to quantify the shift over time from warfarin to DOACs and parallel changes in ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke rates in AF.

Materials and methods

This community-based retrospective study was undertaken within a single integrated health care network from 2011 to 2021. Changes over time in warfarin and DOAC use were quantified by year, both overall and stratified by CHA2DS2-VASc score. Ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke rate changes over time were evaluated by Poisson regression. Stroke rates were evaluated in different time eras: 2011–2015 and 2016–2021.

Results

Among 31,978 AF patients followed an average of 5.5 years, any OAC use increased from 50.2 % (2011) to 59.4 % (2020) (p < 0.001). Warfarin use decreased from 49.3 % to 30.8 %, while DOAC use increased from 2.0 % to 30.8 % (both p < 0.001). In 2020, patients with CHA2DS2-VASc 0–1 and 2–5 were more likely to use DOACs than warfarin (18.6 % vs. 6.7 %; 33.0 % vs. 28.2 %), whereas in CHA2DS2-VASc 6–9 DOACs were used less frequently (30.0 % vs. 40.8 %). Ischemic stroke rates significantly increased by 19 % (95 % CI: 7 %, 32 %) from 2011 to 2015, but significantly decreased by 18 % (10 %, 26 %) from 2016 to 2021. Hemorrhagic stroke rates stabilized in 2016–2021 (+3 %; −18 %, 30 %) after increasing in 2011–2015 (+36 %; 4 %, 78 %).

Conclusion

Improvements in ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke rates coincided temporally with increased uptake of OACs and a shift toward increased uptake of DOACs relative to warfarin.
目的:在过去十年中,直接口服抗凝剂 (DOAC) 已成为心房颤动 (AF) 预防卒中的首选药物,而不是华法林。本研究的目的是量化从华法林到 DOAC 的转变过程以及心房颤动患者缺血性和出血性卒中发生率的平行变化:这项基于社区的回顾性研究于 2011 年至 2021 年在一个单一的综合医疗保健网络内进行。华法林和 DOAC 的使用随时间的变化按年份进行量化,既包括总体变化,也包括按 CHA2DS2-VASc 评分进行分层的变化。缺血性和出血性卒中率随时间的变化通过泊松回归进行评估。中风发生率在不同时间段进行评估:2011-2015 年和 2016-2021 年:在平均随访 5.5 年的 31978 名房颤患者中,使用任何 OAC 的比例从 50.2%(2011 年)增加到 59.4%(2020 年)(P2DS2-VASc 0-1 和 2-5 更有可能使用 DOAC,而不是华法林(18.6% 对 6.7%;33.0% 对 28.2%),而 CHA2DS2-VASc 6-9 DOAC 的使用频率较低(30.0% 对 40.8%))。缺血性脑卒中发病率在 2011-2015 年间显著增加了 19%(95% CI:7%,32%),但在 2016-2021 年间显著下降了 18%(10%,26%)。出血性中风发病率在2011-2015年上升(+36%;4%,78%)后,2016-2021年趋于稳定(+3%;-18%,30%):缺血性和出血性卒中发生率的改善与 OACs 摄入量的增加以及 DOACs 摄入量相对于华法林的增加在时间上相吻合。
