Abstract

Introduction:  Ischemic stroke is a primary cause of mortality and disability in Thailand. Thrombolytic drug (rt-PA) can result in effective treatment. However rt-PA has been associated with cerebral hemorrhages which can worsen a patient’s symptoms and can lead to death. This study aimed to investigate the factors for cerebral hemorrhages after attaining rt-PA. The results from this study should help to prevent and lower mortality rates caused by ischemic stroke.

          Methodology: A retrospective study, the information of patients who diagnosis acute ischemic strokes. Patient data is obtained from the admission medical record and collected from Bueng Kan Hospital between 2014 to 2020. The collected data involved the following characteristic information, clinical information and clinical outcome after thrombolysis was analyzed and investigated risk factors for ICH by multivariable method         

Results: There were 176 acute ischemic stroke patients who had received rt-PA. Of this group of patients, 21% had experienced cerebral hemorrhage (9.1 % for symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, sICH and 11.9% for asymptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, aICH). The following factors that were found to have associated to cerebral hemorrhages with NIHSS scores in the ranges of 16-20, advance age, obesity, hypertension, cardioembolism. Multivariable analysis was observed that the primary causes of cerebral hemorrhage after rt-PA had been hypertension and cardioembolism (OR 3.61, 95%CI and OR 4.72, 95%CI, respectively). 

Conclusion: At the NIHSS range of 16-20, advance age, obesity, hypertension, Atrial fibrillation, ischemic stroke cardioembolism all type represent potential factors that could cause cerebral hemorrhages after rt-PA.
