Department of Neurology, Asan Medical Center (H.-J.J., B.J.K., D.-W.K, S.U.K., J.Y.C.).
Background: Therapeutic-induced hypertension treatment (iHTN) is helpful for alleviating early neurological deterioration (END) in acute small vessel occlusive stroke. We examined the time parameters related to iHTN effectiveness in these patients.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with acute small vessel occlusive stroke who underwent iHTN for END, defined as an increase of ≥2 points in total National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score or ≥1 point in motor items of NIHSS.
