| Popis: | Introduction: Blood pressure on presentation and control of blood pressure are known to have associations with functional outcome and stroke severity. The investigators in this study looked to see if certain systolic blood pressures are associated with specific neurological deficits on presentation of acute ischemic stroke. Hypothesis: Systolic blood pressure at presentation of acute ischemic stroke will be associated with focal neurological symptoms. Methods: We analyzed the 17,398 patients from the International Stroke Trial with confirmed ischemic stroke. Blood pressure was measured immediately before randomization and a neurological examination was performed with seven categories of focal neurological findings. For each neurological finding, a Student’s t-test was used to evaluate for differences in blood pressure mean between patients with or without the finding. Many of the neurological findings were not examined in all patients. Results: See attached image. Conclusions: Lower systolic blood pressure on presentation of acute ischemic stroke are associated with visual and neglect deficits as compared to motor, brainstem, and cerebellar deficits. |
