Association between low blood pressure and clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke
Stroke Nov 13, 2019
Verschoof MA, Groot AE, Vermeij JD, et al. - Since low blood pressure is uncommon in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), researchers explored the connection between baseline low blood pressure and outcomes in these patients. Patients with AIS and low (< 10th percentile) baseline systolic blood pressure (SBP) were contrasted with those with normal SBP (≥ 10th percentile < 185 mm Hg). Regression analysis was used to calculate (common) odds ratios and adjusted for predefined prognostic factors. According to results, 2,124 out of 2,538 individuals had AIS. Data reported that the cutoff for low SBP was 130 mm Hg (n = 212; range, 70–129 mm Hg). It was noted that 1,440 patients had a normal SBP (range, 130–184 mm Hg). Either causal or consequential, low SBP was associated at present in patients with AIS with increased risk of in-hospital mortality and complications, specifically heart failure, gastrointestinal bleeding, and sepsis. Clinicians should be cautious of possible complications that can be treated.
