MR types study of OCSP in acute young patients with ischemic stroke / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the MRI and clinic types of oxfordshire community stroke project(OCSP)in the diagnosis of acute young ischemic stroke patients.Methods 1 64 young patients (18-45 years)and 228 old patients (>60 years)with acute ischemic stroke were analyzed retrospectively.There are four groups according to MR and clinic types of OCSPtotal anterior circulation infarct (TACI),partial anterior circulation infarction (PACI),posterior circulation infarction(POCI)and lacunar infarction (LACI).Results Cerebral infarction showed a mild hypo-signal on T1 WI,hyper-signal on T2 WI,FLAIR and DWI.Among the 164 young patients,8 (4.88%)were classified as TACI,72 (43.90%)as PACI,30 (18.29%)as POCI and 54 (32.93%)as LACI.Young and old group image types comparison,χ2 = 1.221,P >0.05.Young stroke patients image and clinical types comparison,Kappa =0.525,P <0.05.Conclusion OCSP imaging types has a good consistency with clinical types,which helps to evaluate ischemic stroke objectively in youth.
