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 OCSP:total 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.
