17. Results of treatment of acute ischemic strokes in the North region of Vietnam
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objective of the study was to evaluate treatment results and identify factors affecting mRS 0-2 and mortality after 90 days at 8 stroke centers/units/departments in the North of Vietnam. This is a cross-sectional descriptive study on 1303 patients from August 1, 2022, to August 31, 2022, diagnosed with acute ischemic strokes at 8 treatment units across the North. The number of hospitalized patients at Bach Mai Hospital's Stroke Center accounted for the largest proportion with 42.9%, the median NIHSS (quartile) 7 (4 – 11), in which the average NIHSS group rate (5 – 14) score) and severe (15 – 25 points) are 59.7% and 12.3%, respectively. ASPECTS score below 6 accounts for a high rate of 46.8%. The total thrombolysis rate accounted for 8.4% of the total 1303 hospitalized patients, in which the median needle time (interquartile) in minutes was 35.0 (26.5 – 45.0). Patients with no history of atrial fibrillation, dyslipidemia, low NIHSS score, and low ASPECTS were statistically significant influencing factors with mRS 0-2 at 90 days. Meanwhile, high NIHSS and ASPECTS scores were statistically significantly associated with 90th-day mortality.
