Abstract:Objective To investigate the relationship between the prognosis of patients with head and neck artery stenosis (CAS), white matter lesion (WML) and vascular cognitive impairment of none dementia (VCIND). Methods A total of 158 patients with VCIND admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to January 2018 were selected. According to the prognosis of 6 months after treatment, the patients were divided into good prognosis group and poor prognosis group. The clinical characteristics of the two groups were compared, including gender, age, drinking history, smoking history, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, WML grade and CAS level. Logistic regression model was used to analyze whether WML and CAS are independent risk factors for poor prognosis of patients. Results Six months after the treatment, 125 cases (79.11%) had good prognosis and 33 cases (20.89%) had poor prognosis. The proportions of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, WML grade 3 and severe CAS were 21.60%, 19.20%, 18.40%, 4.00% and 12.80% in the group with good prognosis, which were lower than those in the group with poor prognosis, 54.55%, 51.52%, 45.45%, 21.21% and 45.45% respectively. The difference was significant (P?0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, WML grade 3 and severe CAS were risk factors for poor prognosis (P?0.05). Conclusion Besides diabetes mellitus, hypertension and hyperlipidemia, WML classification and CAS degree of VCIND patients are also important factors of affecting their prognosis, which should be paid attention.
