Objective To investigate the relationship between Oxfordshire community stroke project (OCSP) classification and MRI classification in acute cerebral infarction. Methods A total of 282 patients with acute cerebral infarction were retrospectively evaluated with OCSP classification and imaging characteristics. Results According to OCSP classification, of all 282 patients with acute cerebral infarction, 32 (11.3%) experienced total anterior circulation infarction (TACI), 86 (30.5%) partial anterior circulation infarction (PACI), 111 (39.4%) lacunar infarction (LACI), and 53 (18.8%) posterior circulation infarction (POCI). The consistency was found in 201 cases (71.3%) between the OCSP classification and imaging classification, with the accuracy of 77% (27/35) for TACI, 79% (42/53) for PACI, 69% (95/137) for LACI and 65% (37/57) for POCI. Conclusion OCSP classification can predict the location and size of cerebral infarction with a high accuracy, and is well consistent with the MRI findings.
Objective The baseline, clinical characteristics, and risk factors were analyzed in the stroke registry program of the Xinjiang Production Constraction Corp’s Hospital aimed to aid the clinical management and stroke prevention. Method A single center prospective method based on Lausanne Stroke Registry was used in this study. Patients generally, past history, living conditions, onset to treatment time, the stroke scale were collected with 1 year follow up. The investigators of follow up were single blinded. Result Eight hundred and ten ischemic stroke patients were included, of which 478 (59.01%) were male, 332 (40.99%) were female. The average age of these patients was 66.50±10.66 years. One year loss rate of follow up was 4.64%. Seven hundred and sixty-nine patients were diagnosis as acute cerebral infarction, 41 patients were TIA. The median time from onset to treatment was 15 hours. Lacunar infarction was the most common type with 334 (43.43%) patients. The average score of the National Institutes of Heath Stroke Scale was 5.55±7.24. The incidence of carotid artery plaque was 82.2%. Conclution Xinjiang region has its own characteristics of stroke with a higher carotid artery plaque rate and thrombolytic therapy ratio. Good stroke registration system could standardize the clinical behavior and promote the continuous improvement of medical quality.
