Abstract

Abstract : Objective . To investigate the effects of alteplase thrombolysis on coagulation function and nerve function of patients with ischemic stroke. Methods . 76 cases with ischemic stroke receiving thrombolytic therapy in Cangzhou Central Hospital from November 2018 to November 2019 were recruited. They were assigned via the random number table method at a ratio of 1 : 1 to receive alteplase thrombolysis either within 3h after the onset (observation group) or within 3–4.5 h after the onset (control group), followed by aspirin administration after no bleeding in cranial computed tomography (CT). Outcome measures included plasma fibrinogen (FIB), activated partial prothrombin time (APTT), platelet (PLT) levels, the National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) score, and adverse events. Results . Alteplase thrombolysis within 3 h was associated with better prothrombin time (PT), APTT, FIB, and PLT levels versus thrombolysis within 3–4.5 h (P < 0.05 ). Thrombolysis within 3 h showed significantly lower NIHSS scores versus within 3–4.5 h (P < 0.05 ). The two groups showed a similar incidence of adverse events ( X 2 = 2.963, P = 0.615 ). Conclusion . Alteplase thrombolysis showed benefits in mitigating the coagulation function and nerve function damage of patients with ischemic stroke, especially within 3 hours after the onset, with a high safety profile.
