Risk factors for the outcome after thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke - the prominent role of kidney dysfunction : A retrospective cohort observational study

A complex interplay of factors reflecting the general biological, cardiovascular, neurological, renal, and metabolic status of patients influences the outcome of thrombolysis in stroke patients. This is a retrospective cohort observational study aimed to determine the importance of kidney dysfunction among these factors. Data (demographic, lifestyle, physical examination, laboratory, imaging, including metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities, neurological scores, and outcomes) of all stroke patients who underwent thrombolysis have been registered since January 1, 2016, in an online database. A total of 296 patients registered until December 31, 2020, were included in the study. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, modified Rankin scale, Barthel index, percentage of hemorrhagic transformation, and in hospital death were used to evaluate the neurological status and outcomes of the patients. Regression analysis, Mann-Whitney test, Fisher exact test, logistic regression, and multivariate analysis were used for statistical analysis. Kidney dysfunction, as reflected by the estimated glomerular filtration rate, was associated with in hospital death and all but one of the neurological scores. Other risk factors most frequently associated with neurological scores were age, international normalized ratio, and cognitive decline. Multivariate analysis revealed estimated glomerular filtration rate (as determined by chronic kidney disease-EPI equation) as a determinant for all but one of these scores, and as the most important determinant for most of them, except for those reflecting the pre-intervention neurological status of the patient. Kidney dysfunction seems to be the most important determinant of the outcome of thrombolysed stroke patients, a result obtained by no other study.
