This study investigated whether patients in the acute stage of cerebral infarction (ACI) might benefit from single-drug antihypertensive therapy (AT) without the use of preset target levels.
A total of 320 ACI patients were randomly divided into an AT group and a control group (group C) (160 patients in each group). The AT group received single antihypertensive drug treatment after the first 48 hours of onset with 5 mg of amlodipine besylate or 150 mg of irbesartan once a day. The primary end-point event was mortality on the 14 day and in the 6 month after onset, significant dependent-survival status (SDS, Barthel Index ≤ 60), mortality/disability ratio (modified Rankin Scale ≥ 3), and recurrence rate of cardio-cerebral vascular events (RR-CVE).
The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 8.39 ± 3.21 vs. 8.16 ± 3.27 in the AT and C groups on entry to the study. On day 14, there were no significant differences in mortality (2.5% vs. 3.1%, p = 0.9994), SDS (50.0% vs. 49.0%, p = 0.864), and mortality/disability ratio (61.3% vs. 66.3%, p = 0.352) between the two groups, however the RR-CVE in the AT group was lower than in group C (4.4% vs. 11.9%, p = 0.014). In month 6, there were no significant difference in mortality rate between the two groups (3.1% vs. 3.8%, p = 0.767), however the SDS (23.4% vs. 34.4%, p = 0.033), mortality/disability ratio (32.1% vs. 45.0%, p = 0.018), and RR-CVE in group AT were lower than in group C (10.7% vs. 19.4%, p = 0.030).
Appropriate AT for patients with ACI does not worsen the disease condition and may improve the prognosis for the patients with moderate or mild stroke severity.
本研究调查了急性脑梗死(ACI)患者在不设定目标血压水平的情况下,单药降压治疗(AT)是否有益。
总共320例ACI患者被随机分为AT组和对照组(C组)(每组160例患者)。AT组在发病48小时后接受单药降压治疗,每日服用5毫克苯磺酸氨氯地平或150毫克厄贝沙坦。主要终点事件为发病后14天和6个月时的死亡率、显著依赖生存状态(SDS,巴氏指数≤60)、死亡率/残疾率(改良Rankin量表≥3)以及心脑血管事件复发率(RR-CVE)。
研究入组时,AT组和C组的美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表(NIHSS)评分分别为8.39±3.21和8.16±3.27。在第14天,两组在死亡率(2.5%对3.1%,p = 0.9994)、SDS(50.0%对49.0%,p = 0.864)和死亡率/残疾率(61.3%对66.3%,p = 0.352)方面无显著差异,但AT组的RR-CVE低于C组(4.4%对11.9%,p = 0.014)。在第6个月,两组的死亡率无显著差异(3.1%对3.8%,p = 0.767),但AT组的SDS(23.4%对34.4%,p = 0.033)、死亡率/残疾率(32.1%对45.0%,p = 0.018)和RR-CVE低于C组(10.7%对19.4%,p = 0.030)。
对ACI患者进行适当的AT不会使病情恶化,可能改善中轻度卒中严重程度患者的预后。
