Hyperdense Cerebral Artery Computed Tomography Sign Is Associated with Stroke Severity rather than Stroke Subtype
Original language description
The hyperdense cerebral artery sign (HCAS) on unenhanced computed tomography (CT) in acute ischemic stroke is a valuable clinical marker, but it remains unclear if HCAS reflects clot composition or stroke etiology. Therefore, variables independently associated with HCAS were identified from a large international data set of patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis. METHODS: All stroke patients undergoing intravenous thrombolysis from the Safe Implementation of Treatments in Stroke-EAST (SITS-EAST)database between February 2003 and December 2011 were analyzed. A general estimating equation model accounting for within-center clustering was used to identify factors independently associated with HCAS. RESULTS: Of all 8878 consecutive patients, 8375patients (94%) with available information about HCAS were included in our analysis. CT revealed HCAS in 19% of patients. Median baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 12, mean age was 67 +- 12 years, and 359
