| Popis: | Background Increased blood pressure variability (BPV) might be a detrimental factor after acute ischemic stroke. Previous studies on the association between blood pressure variability in the acute ischemic stroke and neurological functional outcome have yielded inconsistent results. Purpose We aimed to investigate the impact of day-by-day blood pressure variability within 7 days of onset on neurological functional outcome at 3 months after acute ischemic stroke. Methods Total 367 patients hospitalized for ischemic stroke within 48 hours of onset were enrolled. The acute stage of ischemic stroke was defined as the time period from symptom onset to 7 days. During this period, day-by-day blood pressure variability, including standard deviation (SD) and coefficient variation (CV) were derived and compared to neurological functional outcome. A baseline severity-adjusted analysis was performed using 3-month modified Rankin Scale score as the neurological functional outcome. Unfavorable outcome was defined as mRS≥3. Results The patients with unfavorable outcome had significantly higher systolic BPV (within 7 days of onset) than those with favorable outcome (15.41±4.59 VS 13.42±3.95mmHg for SD, P Conclusions Increased day-by-day blood pressure variability of systolic or diastolic BP in the acute ischemic stroke was associated with higher risk for unfavorable outcome at 3 months independent of mean blood pressure. Combining SD of systolic BP with conventional risk factors could thus improve the prediction of unfavorable outcome. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None |
