Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of atrial fibrillation (AF) with hemorrhagic transformation (HT) in patients with ischemic stroke treated by intravenous thrombolysis. METHODS: Clinical data of 3272 patients treated by intravenous thrombolysis from 71 hospitals in Zhejiang Province during June 2017 and December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Intracranial HT was defined as intracranial hemorrhage suggested by imaging examination 24 hours after intravenous thrombolysis. Patients were dichotomized into HT group (n=533) and non-HT group (n=2739). The association of AF and HT was analyzed by univariate analysis and binary logistic regression. RESULTS: Compared with the non-HT group, the HT group were older, had longer onset to needle time (ONT), higher baseline National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, higher baseline glucose level, and higher AF rate (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that AF was independently associated with HT (OR=2.527, 95%CI:2.030-3.146, P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: AF is independently associated with the occurrence of HT in ischemic stroke patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis.
