Objective: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors affecting the presence of carotid plaque in asymptomatic adults.
Methods: Asymptomatic adults (age > 40 years, no symptoms of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases) undergoing routine health examinations from physical examination department were included in this study. Carotid plaque was measured by Resona 7OB and Resona 8EXP color Doppler ultrasound and L9-3U and L4-5WU probes.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of the ASTRAL scale in predicting patient outcomes after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) affecting either the anterior (ACI) or posterior circulation (PCI).
- Statistical analysis showed that the ASTRAL scale's ability to predict poor outcomes was similar for both ACI and PCI patients, with Area Under the Curve (AUC) values of 0.768 and 0.773, respectively.
- The findings suggest that the ASTRAL scale is a reliable prognostic tool for AIS patients after IVT, regardless of whether the stroke affects the anterior or posterior circulation.
This study aimed to validate the predictive performance of ASTRAL and THRIVE scales when used for patients aged 60 years and older with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). All enrolled patients received IVT therapy. The enrolled patients were divided into two groups in accordance with the modified Rankin scale(mRS) score at the time of discharge: good-outcome (mRS ≤ 2) and poor-outcome (mRS ≥ 3) groups.
