概要 | BACKGROUND:Diffusion-tensor fractional anisotropy (FA) has been used for predicting stroke outcome. However, most previous studies focused on patients with either hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between FA and outcome for patients with hemorrhagic stroke and those with ischemic stroke, and then compare their correlation patterns.METHODS:This study sampled 40 hemorrhagic and 40 ischemic stroke patients from our previously published reports. Diffusion-tensor images were obtained on days 14-21, and FA images were generated, after which the ratio of FA withinthe cerebral peduncles of the affected and unaffected hemispheres (rFA) was calculated. Outcome was assessed using Brunnstrom stage (BRS), motor component of the functional independence measure (FIM-motor), and total length of hospital stay (LOS) at discharge from our affiliated rehabilitation hospital. The data were then compared between the hemorrhage and the infarct groups. Correlation analyses between rFA and outcome assessments were performed separately for both groups and then were compared between the groups.RESULTS:The hemorrhage group exhibited significantly more severe BRS, longer LOS, and lower rFA than the infarct group. The correlations between rFA and outcome measures were all statistically significant for both the hemorrhage and the infarct groups. The correlation patterns for BRS and LOS were very similar between the hemorrhage and the infarct groups. However, such similarity was not evident for FIM-motor.CONCLUSIONS:FA in the cerebral peduncles may be used to predict extremity functions and LOS for both types of stroke. |
