The relationship between the dose of recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (r-tPA) and its safety/efficacy for ischemic stroke has not been well evaluated in the East Asian population. We assessed the safety/efficacy of different doses of r-tPA for acute ischemic stroke in Chinese patients.
A total of 1004 eligible patients were classified according to the dose of r-tPA received for managing acute ischemic stroke: 0.9 mg/kg (n=422), 0.8 mg/kg (n=202), 0.7 mg/kg (n=199), and 0.6 mg/kg (n=181). The safety outcome was symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage and death within 3 months. The efficacy outcome was good functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale ≤1) at 3 months.
There was a significant trend for symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage with age (P=0.002). With multivariate logistic regression analysis, a dose of 0.9 mg/kg was a predictor of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (P=0.0109), and a dose ≤0.65 mg/kg was a predictor of good functional outcome (P=0.0369). In patients aged 71 to 80 years, there was a significant trend of increasing symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (P=0.0130) and less good functional outcome (P=0.0179) with increasing doses of r-tPA. There was also a trend of increasing mortality (P=0.0971) at 3 months in these patients.
These results did not support the dose of 0.9 mg/kg of r-tPA being optimal for all patients in the East Asian population. In elderly patients (71-80 years), a lower dose of 0.6 mg/kg is associated with a better outcome. Confirmation of the results through randomized trial is required.
重组组织型纤溶酶原激活剂(r-tPA)剂量与其在东亚人群中治疗缺血性脑卒中的安全性/疗效之间的关系尚未得到很好的评估。我们评估了不同剂量 r-tPA 治疗中国患者急性缺血性脑卒中的安全性/疗效。
根据 r-tPA 治疗急性缺血性脑卒中的剂量,将 1004 例符合条件的患者分为四组:0.9 mg/kg(n=422)、0.8 mg/kg(n=202)、0.7 mg/kg(n=199)和 0.6 mg/kg(n=181)。安全性结局为 3 个月内症状性颅内出血和死亡。疗效结局为 3 个月时改良 Rankin 量表评分≤1 的良好功能结局。
症状性颅内出血与年龄呈显著趋势(P=0.002)。多变量逻辑回归分析显示,0.9 mg/kg 剂量是症状性颅内出血的预测因素(P=0.0109),剂量≤0.65 mg/kg 是良好功能结局的预测因素(P=0.0369)。在 71-80 岁的患者中,r-tPA 剂量增加与症状性颅内出血增加(P=0.0130)和良好功能结局减少(P=0.0179)呈显著趋势。这些患者的 3 个月死亡率也呈上升趋势(P=0.0971)。
这些结果不支持东亚人群中所有患者使用 0.9 mg/kg r-tPA 剂量为最佳剂量。在老年患者(71-80 岁)中,使用较低的 0.6 mg/kg 剂量与更好的结局相关。需要通过随机试验来证实这些结果。
