Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Studies regarding multiple chronic lacunes (MCLs) and clinical outcome according to stroke etiology are scarce. We sought to evaluate the association between MCL and short-term/long-term clinical outcomes according to stroke etiology. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We analyzed a prospectively collected stroke registry of acute ischemic stroke patients over 4 years. The enrolled patients were classified as having large artery atherosclerosis (LAA), small vessel occlusion (SVO), cardioembolic (CE) stroke, and other etiology. The early neurological deterioration (END) and favorable outcome at 3 months were assessed. RESULTS: A total of 1070 patients were enrolled. Patients with MCL had significantly more END compared to those without MCL both in total population (adjusted odds ratio (OR), 1.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-2.5; p = 0.013*) and in the LAA group (adjusted OR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.3-4.2, p < 0.006). Patients with MCL had a significantly lower OR for favorable outcome at 3 months compared to those without MCL both in total population (adjusted OR, 0.7; 95% CI, 0.5-1.0, p = 0.035) and in the LAA group (adjusted OR, 0.6; 95% CI, 0.3-1.0, p = 0.043). However, MCL was not associated with END or long-term functional outcome in patients with SVO, CE, or other etiology. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of MCL was an independent predictive factor for END as well as long-term poor functional outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients. These associations were only observed in patients with LAA, not in those with SVO, CE, or other etiology.
