Clinical characteristics of patients with hyperthyroidism complicated with acute cerebral infarction and evaluation on prognosis and safety of intravenous thrombolysis treatment / 吉林大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of the patients with hyperthyroidism complicated with acute cerebral infarction, and to evaluate the prognosis and safety of intravenous thrombolysis treatment in the patients with hyperthyrodism complicated with acute cerebral infarctron within time window for thrombolysis. Methods:The clinical materials of patients with acute cerebral infarction treated with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (rt-pA)were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were divided into hyperthyroidism group (n=41) and non-hyperthyroidismin group (n=160) according to whether complicated with hyperthyroidism.The general imformation,the area of cerebral infarction and intracranial hemorrhage of the patients in two groups were analyzed.Results:The NHISS score of the patients in hyperthyroidism group was higher than that in non-hyperthyroidism group for the first time(P0.05).The proportions of the different infarction sizes had significant differences between two groups (P 0.05).Conclusion:The patients with acute cerebral infarction complicated with hyperthyroidism could benefit from intravenous thrombolysis, without the increasing of incidence of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) and SHA.
