Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) is associated with functional outcome in the subacute rehabilitation phase of stroke. DESIGN: Retrospective case-control study. SETTING: Hospital-based cohort. PARTICIPANTS: The study enrolled participants who underwent brain single-photon emission computed tomography (N=48). Patients with CCD were identified (n=24). Twenty-four controls were selected for each case-patient by matching age, stroke type (ischemic or hemorrhagic), lesion laterality, and lesion location. INTERVENTION: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The functional ambulation category (FAC), modified Barthel Index (MBI), and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) were administered at the initial (initiation of rehabilitation therapy) and the follow-up (4wk after rehabilitation therapy) assessments. RESULTS: The CCD group had lower MMSE, FAC, MBI, and MMSE scores at the initial assessment (P=.032, .016, and .001, respectively) and lower FAC and MBI scores at the follow-up assessment, than the non-CCD group (P=.001 and .036, respectively). Although CCD was not associated with cognitive impairment, nonambulatory status, and dependent activities of daily living (ADL) at the initial assessment (P=.538, .083, and >.99, respectively), the CCD group had a higher risk of cognitive impairment (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=4.044; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.071-15.270; P=.039), nonambulatory status (aOR=7.000; 95% CI, 1.641-29.854; P=.009) and dependent ADL (aOR=13.500; 95% CI, 1.535-118.692; P=.019) at the follow-up assessment. CONCLUSIONS: CCD is associated with severe functional impairment and may have an adverse effect on functional outcomes related to cognition, ambulatory function, and ADL during the subacute rehabilitation phase of stroke. This suggests that CCD may be a valuable predictor of functional outcome in the subacute rehabilitation phase of stroke.
