Research Article: Development and Validation of a Dynamic Nomogram for Predicting -Month Mortality in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Date Published: 2024-01-16

Abstract:
Stroke, the most common type of which is acute ischemic stroke (AIS), is a major threat to health in China as it is the leading cause of death and the prevalence is on the rise. According to the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study , China accounts for . million of the . million stroke-related deaths worldwide. Atrial fibrillation (AF) stands out as a primary risk factor for AIS, significantly elevating the risk of AIS occurrence and associated mortality., Previous studies indicated that patients with AF are five times more likely to experience AIS, often resulting in high mortality within the first days following onset, with figures ranging from % to %.– This represents a substantial public health concern. While anticoagulant therapy is recommended and acknowledged as an effective approach for reducing mortality in AIS patients with AF, a notable disparity exists between clinical practices and guideline recommendations.– Consequently, the potential benefits of lowering mortality risk through anticoagulant therapy have not been fully realized., Therefore, the early identification of factors influencing mortality risk is of paramount importance to facilitate timely interventions and prolong patient longevity.
