Abstract
GARCIA-MOREIRA, Alba; GONZALEZ-BLANCO, Lurdes; RODRIGUEZ-JIMENEZ, Carmen and ALVAREZ-FERNANDEZ, Susana. Case series on 30-day mortality after thrombectomy or fibrinolysis. The challenge of demographic dispersión. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2023, vol.16, n.2, pp.88-93. Epub Sep 18, 2023. ISSN 2386-8201. https://dx.doi.org/10.55783/rcmf.160205.
Purpose:
this study aims to analyze the survival and mortality rate after 30 days in patients with stroke code and fibrinolysis/thrombectomy. In addition, it is proposed to observe whether the demographic dispersion by the hospital’s location has any impact on this relationship for the patient.
Method:
longitudinal, retrospective and observational study. Patients with stroke code in the province of Ourense, Galicia. Subjects are 153 patients with a mean age of 76±12 years (83 women), recruited over 17 months. The variables to consider included the affected artery, fibrinolysis/thrombectomy intervention, mortality after 30 days, application of computerized tomography angiography, changes in the NIHSS (National Institutes Stroke Scale) and times in the casualty department in three hospitals in the province (Ourense, O Barco and Verín).
Results:
12.9% of patients died within 30 days of the event. At least 54.2% of patients (84) received fibrinolysis, 19.4% underwent thrombectomy and at least 40 patients (26.0%) underwent a combined intervention (fibrinolysis + thrombectomy). A total of 13.1% of patients with fibrinolysis reached exitus letalis after 30 days. Logistic analysis determined that performing a thrombectomy reduces the probability of death, but not significantly.
Conclusions:
no statistically significant relationship was detected between the application of a specific treatment (thrombectomy/fibrinolysis) or its combination with the mortality rate of patients after 30 days. Ourense hospital that is closest to the thrombectomy referral centres shows P<0.005 in regard to mortality.
