Clinical Characteristics of @entity63 XXXX with @entity955 : Analyses of a Multicenter Retrospective Study.

@entity1 @entity64 @entity2806 @entity63 @entity2026 @entity955 @entity3257
BACKGROUND: @entity955 ( @entity3257 ) is an important risk factor for @entity63 ( @entity63 ). However, little is known about the characteristics of @entity63 @entity1 with @entity3257 . This study investigated the characteristics of such @entity1 , using data from a retrospective, observational, multicenter study. METHODS: @entity63 @entity1 admitted to 13 @entity64 centers in Japan within 7 days of onset between January 2008 and December 2009 were included. The present analyses compared baseline characteristics, clinical symptoms, findings from diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and clinical outcomes between @entity1 with and without @entity3257 ( @entity3257 and @entity3257 ). RESULTS: A total of 464 @entity1 (292 @entity1 ; mean age 68.5    13.2 years) were registered. Of these, 79 @entity1 (17%) had @entity3257 . @entity1 in the @entity3257 group were older (73.9    9.1 vs. 67.4    13.6 years, p < 0.001) and more likely to show disturbance of consciousness (13 vs. 6%, p = 0.046) and @entity2026 (9 vs. 3%, p = 0.007) than @entity1 in the non- @entity3257 group. Although no difference in the overall DWI-positive rate was seen between the groups (28 vs. 20%, p = 0.102), a single lesion (23 vs. 10%, p < 0.001), a lesion >= 15 mm (11 vs. 4%, p = 0.006), and a single lesion >= 15 mm (11 vs. 2%, p < 0.001) on DWI were more frequent in the @entity3257 group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified increased age [odds ratio (OR) 1.04; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02-1.07] and DWI single lesion >= 15 mm (OR 5.67; 95% CI 1.92-16.7) as independently associated with the presence of @entity3257 . CONCLUSIONS: In this study, 17% of our @entity63 @entity1 had @entity3257 . We found an association between the @entity2806 pattern on DWI of a single lesion >= 15 mm and @entity3257 in @entity63 @entity1 . These results might lead to a better diagnosis of @entity63 @entity1 with @entity3257 .
