Clinical and imaging risk factors for early neurological deterioration and long-term neurological disability in patients with single subcortical small infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study aims to evaluate the clinical and imaging risk factors for early neurological deterioration (END) and long-term neurological disability in patients with Single subcortical small infarction (SSSI).

Methods

We retrospectively included SSSI patients hospitalized. Outcomes were defined as modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score > 2 at follow-up and the occurrence of END during hospitalization. Multivariate logistic regression identified independent predictors of END and long-term outcomes. Stepwise regression analysis was used to develop a predictive model for poor outcomes. The predictive performance of risk factors and the model was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.

Results

A total of 289 SSSI patients were included. During
