Blood pressure variability related to early outcome of acute ischemia stroke in a prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT: Hypertension is a well-known risk factor for stroke, but the relationship between blood pressure variation (BPV) and prognosis remains unclear. This prospective observational study assessed the association between BPV and early functional outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients. A total of 871 patients with acute ischemic stroke within 24 h of symptom onset were recruited from the Third Affiliated Hospital of Qiqihar Medical University between 2013 and 2016. Within 6 days of hospitalization, blood pressure was continuously measured from 8:00 to 9:00 every day, and the coefficient of variation (CV) of blood pressure was calculated (including systolic blood pressure [SBP] and diastolic blood pressure [DBP]). The modified Rankin scale was used to evaluate early functional outcomes at disch
