The aim of this study was to investigate for a possible association between both prestroke CHADS-VASc score and the severity of stroke at presentation, as well as disability and mortality at 90 days, in patients with acute stroke and atrial fibrillation (AF).
This prospective study enrolled consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke, AF, and assessment of prestroke CHADS-VASc score. Severity of stroke was assessed on admission using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (severe stroke: NIHSS ≥10). Disability and mortality at 90 days were assessed by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS <3 or ≥3). Multiple logistic regression was used to correlate prestroke CHADS-VASc and severity of stroke, as well as disability and mortality at 90 days.
Of the 1020 patients included in the analysis, 606 patients had an admission NIHSS score lower and 414 patients higher than 10. At 90 days, 510 patients had mRS ≥3. A linear correlation was found between the prestroke CHADS-VASc score and severity of stroke (P = .001). On multivariate analysis, CHADS-VASc score correlated with severity of stroke (P = .041) and adverse functional outcome (mRS ≥3) (P = .001). A logistic regression with the receiver operating characteristic graph procedure (C-statistics) evidenced an area under the curve of .60 (P = .0001) for severe stroke. Furthermore, a correlation was found between prestroke CHADS-VASc score and lesion size.
In patients with AF, in addition to the risk of stroke, a high CHADS-VASc score was independently associated with both stroke severity at onset and disability and mortality at 90 days.
本研究旨在调查急性脑卒中合并心房颤动（AF）患者的卒中前CHADS-VASc评分与就诊时卒中严重程度、90天时的残疾及死亡率之间可能存在的关联。
这项前瞻性研究纳入了连续的急性缺血性脑卒中、AF患者，并对其卒中前CHADS-VASc评分进行评估。入院时使用美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表（NIHSS）评分评估卒中严重程度（重度卒中：NIHSS≥10）。90天时的残疾和死亡率通过改良Rankin量表（mRS<3或≥3）进行评估。采用多因素逻辑回归分析卒中前CHADS-VASc评分与卒中严重程度、90天时的残疾及死亡率之间的相关性。
纳入分析的1020例患者中，606例患者入院时NIHSS评分低于10，414例患者高于10。90天时，510例患者mRS≥3。发现卒中前CHADS-VASc评分与卒中严重程度之间存在线性相关性（P = 0.001）。多因素分析显示，CHADS-VASc评分与卒中严重程度（P = 0.041）及不良功能结局（mRS≥3）（P = 0.001）相关。采用受试者工作特征曲线程序（C统计量）进行的逻辑回归分析显示，重度卒中的曲线下面积为0.60（P = 0.0001）。此外，还发现卒中前CHADS-VASc评分与病变大小之间存在相关性。
在AF患者中，除了卒中风险外，高CHADS-VASc评分还与发病时的卒中严重程度以及90天时的残疾和死亡率独立相关。
