Application of concomitant disease scoring in acute cerebral infarction

Abstract EN

Background: This study aims to explore the predictive value of concomitant disease scoring for the prognosis of patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI).

Methods: A total of 399 patients with ACI, who met the inclusion criteria, were enrolled into the present study.

The concomitant disease score was assessed within 24 hours after admission, and the risk degree of death was analyzed.

Then, the goodness of fit test and validity analysis were carried out, the best survival/death cut-off value was determined, and its predictive value for the prognosis of ACI patients was assessed.

Results: The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for the concomitant disease score was 0.700, the distinctiveness was relatively good, and the prediction cut-off value was 10 points.

Furthermore, the mortality rate of patients with a higher score was significantly higher, when compared to patients with a lower score.

Conclusion: This concomitant disease score has good predictive value for the prognosis of ACI patients, and is an ideal system for evaluating the condition of cerebral infarction.

The survival/death cut-off value was 10 points.
