Low vitamin D levels and the long-term functional outcome of stroke up to 5 years.

Background And Purpose: Previous studies have established that vitamin D was associated with stroke. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between vitamin D and 5-year outcome of patients with stroke including acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) stroke.

Methods: Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were prospectively analyzed in patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from 2013 to 2015.

Early-Onset Depression in Stroke Patients: Effects on Unfavorable Outcome 5 Years Post-stroke.

Post-stroke depression (PSD) constitutes an essential complication of stroke and is associated with high-risk unfavorable outcome after stroke. The main objective of this prospective study was to determine the relationship between early-onset PSD (1 month after stroke) and functional outcomes 5 years after baseline enrollment. Four hundred thirty-six patients who met the criteria were included in this study from October 2013 to February 2015.

Hemostasis functions are associated with hemorrhagic transformation in non-atrial fibrillation patients: a case-control study.

Background: Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a serious neurological complication of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after revascularization. The majority of AIS patients do not have atrial fibrillation (AF) which could also develop into HT. In this study, we aimed to explore whether hemostasis parameters are risk factors of HT in non-AF patients.

Cardiac parameters affect prognosis in patients with non-large atherosclerotic infarction.

Background: Although large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) is the most common type of cerebral infarction, non-LAA is not uncommon. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the prognosis of patients with non-LAA and to establish a corresponding nomogram.

Patients And Methods: Between June 2016 and June 2017, we had 1101 admissions for acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Comparison of poststroke depression between acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients.

Objectives: Depression is the most common mental complication in stroke survivors with about one-third of patients suffering from poststroke depression (PSD). This was the first prospective study aimed to compare the prevalence of PSD and its symptoms between two cohorts of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Methods: Both AIS and ICH patients were simultaneously enrolled in the study.

Liver Fibrosis Is Associated With Hemorrhagic Transformation in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke.

Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a frequent, often asymptomatic event that occurs after acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Liver fibrosis, usually subclinical, is common and crucial in the development of liver disease. We aimed to investigate the association between liver fibrosis and HT in patients with AIS.

Prognostic nomogram for microvascular decompression-treated trigeminal neuralgia.

This study aimed to establish an effective prognostic nomogram for microvascular decompression (MVD)-treated trigeminal neuralgia (TN). The nomogram was based on a retrospective cohort study of 1054 patients with TN. During the period 2005-2014, 845 patients at our department treated TN with MVD and served as a development cohort.

A high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio predicts hemorrhagic transformation of large atherosclerotic infarction in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Increasing evidence suggests that inflammation is associated with the development of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (N/L) is an important marker of inflammation and is highly correlated with mortality in stroke patients in recent studies. The N/L of patients who experience hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after AIS is know, but any relationship between N/L and large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) remains unclear, this is our present topic.

Low triiodothyronine syndrome is associated with hemorrhagic transformation in patients with acute ischaemic stroke.

Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a severe complication occurring in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. We explored the association between low triiodothyronine (T3) syndrome and HT in AIS patients. A total of 208 consecutive participants with HT and 208 age- and sex-matched stroke patients without HT were enrolled in this study.
