Abstract

Background: Early neurological deterioration (END) often occurs during hospitalization in single small subcortical infarct (SSSI). While, symptoms on admission were rarely reported about its performance on predicting the risk of END.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between symptoms on admission and END in SSSI.

Methods: Patients with SSSI in the lenticulostriate artery (LSA) territory presenting within 72 hours of stroke onset were screened prospectively. Clinical characteristics, including symptoms on admission, laboratory tests and imaging findings, were collected. Based on the body regions involved including spherical face (SF), upper limb (UL) or lower limb (LL), symptoms on admission were classified into single spherical face (sSF) and any involvement of limbs (AL). END was defined as ≥2 points increase in total National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score or ≥ 1 point increase in motor score within 72 hours after admission. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze factors associated with END.

Results: Out of 5,832 ischemic stroke patients in the database, 394 patients were finally enrolled in analysis. 65 patients (16.5%) developed END. Multivariable logistic regression revealed that symptoms with LL (OR 2.337, 95% CI 1.041-5.246), UL (OR 2.936, 95% CI 1.349-6.390) were both associated with END, while the involvement of SF (OR 0.447, 95% CI 0.249-0.804) showed the opposite result. Further analysis found that symptoms with AL (OR 3.958, 95% CI 1.355-11.565) showed a higher risk of END compared to sSF after adjustment.

Conclusion: Our results discovered that symptoms with AL carried a higher risk of END than those involving sSF in SSSI.

Keywords: Single small subcortical infarct, early neurological deterioration, symptoms on admission, lenticulostriate artery, posterior type, motor deficits, single spherical face.
