- Abstract
- Background
Intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase is the most effective therapy for acute ischemic stroke, but
hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a potentially dangerous complication of such thrombolysis. Few studies have
investigated the predictors of HT after thrombolysis in Korean stroke patients.
Methods
From 2003 to 2009, acute ischemic stroke patients who received intravenous alteplase were included from the
prospective stroke registry of Kyung Hee University Hospital. Patients submitted to CT or MRI scans with gradient echo
sequences within 12-36?hours of thrombolysis. The Hemorrhage After Thrombolysis (HAT) score [ranging from 0
(minimum risk) to 5 (maximum risk)] was calculated retrospectively for each patient. The predictive ability of the HAT
score for HT and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) was calculated using C statistics.
Results
Among 151 consecutive patients, HT was confirmed in 35 on follow-up brain imaging. Atrial fibrillation
(OR=2.709, 95%CI=1.118-6.567) and low one-third CT scan (OR=3.419, 95%CI=1.281-9.121) increased the risk of HT after
intravenous thrombolysis in multivariate logistic regression analysis. HT, sICH (based on the National Institute of
Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the Safe Implementation of Treatment in Stroke - Monitoring Study definitions),
unfavorable [modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 2-6] and poor (mRS score of 3-6) outcomes at 3?months, and mortality
at 3?months were increased with higher HAT scores (C statistic=0.632, 0.637, 0.843, 0.670, 0.689, and 0.659, respectively;
p=0.018, 0.036, 0.042, 0.002, 0.015, and <0.001).
Conclusions
The HAT score can be used to predict the risk of sICH following intravenous thrombolysis and the
long-term clinical outcome. Key Words: Acute stroke, Hemorrhage, Thrombolytic therapy, Tissue plasminogen activator
