ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the occurrence of post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) and its influencing factors in convalescent young patients with first-ever stroke.
METHODS: A total of 300 first-ever young stroke patients (age ≤45 years) were collected. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used to assess the cognitive status. The sociodemographic data, clinical symptoms, social environment, and behavior-related information were collected and analyzed.
RESULTS: The incidence of PSCI in young stroke patients was 62.33 %. Through univariate analysis, there were statistical differences in different levels of education, smoking status and hypertension (P < 0.05). With subsequently multivariate logistic regression analysis, it was found that junior high school (OR=8.58,95 %CI:2.25∼32.70) and high school (OR=10.50,95 %CI:2.69∼41.00) education levels, lesion volume >3.00 cm3 (OR=8.03,95 %CI:2.28∼28.36), stroke in the frontal-parietal-temporal region (OR=7.26,95 %CI:1.58∼33.40) and the basal ganglia area (OR=6.13,95 %CI:1.24∼30.43), high NIHSS score (OR=1.17,95 %CI: 1.06∼1.29), and high diastolic blood pressure variability coefficient (OR=1.43,95 %CI: 1.02∼2.01) were risk factors for PSCI. Meanwhile, 24≤BMI<28 (OR=0.06,95 %CI:0.02∼0.23) and BMI<24 (OR=0.18,95 %CI:0.06∼0.53), hospitalization cost >20,000/month (OR=0.22,95 %CI:0.09∼0.56), and stroke onset in spring and summer (OR=0.37,95 %CI:0.14∼0.96) were protective factors.
CONCLUSION: The incidence of PSCI is relatively high in young stroke patients. Junior high and high school education, stroke lesions >3.00cm3, strokes in the frontal-parietal-temporal and basal ganglia regions, high NIHSS scores, and high DBPV are risk factors for PSCI in young stroke patients. Meanwhile, BMI<28, treatment cost >20,000/month, and stroke onset in spring and summer are protective factors for PSCI in young stroke patients.
