Abstract
Perfusion CT may improve the diagnostic performance of noncontrast CT in acute ischemic stroke. We assessed predictors of focal hypoperfusion in acute ischemic stroke and perfusion CT performance in predicting infarction on follow-up imaging. Patients from the Acute STroke Registry and Analysis of Lausanne data base with acute ischemic stroke and perfusion CT were included. Clinical and radiologic data were collected. We identified predictors of focal hypoperfusion using multivariate analyses. From the 2216 patients with perfusion CT, 38.2% had an acute ischemic lesion on NCCT and 73.3% had focal hypoperfusion on perfusion CT. After we analyzed 104 covariates, high-admission NIHSS, visual field defect, aphasia, hemineglect, sensory deficits, and impaired consciousness were positively associated with focal hypoperfusion. Negative associations were pure posterior circulation, lacunar strokes, and anticoagulation. After integrating radiologic variables into the multivariate analyses, we found that visual field defect, sensory deficits, hemineglect, early ischemic changes on NCCT, anterior circulation, cardioembolic etiology, and arterial occlusion were positively associated with focal hypoperfusion, whereas increasing onset-to-CT ...Continue Reading
