Kurzepa J, Bielewicz J, Czekajska-Chehab E, Kurzepa J, Bartosik-Psujek H, Grabarska A, Stelmasiak Z. CT volume/density ratio as the marker of ischaemic brain injury. Acta Neurol Scand: 2011: 123: 310-315. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Objectives - We believe that the CT volume/density ratio (VDR) of infarcted area reflects the degree of brain tissue damage during ischaemic stroke (IS). Patients and methods - Forty six patients with IS were prospectively enrolled into the study. CT scan was performed on days 1 and 10 of hospitalization. S100BB serum level, gelatinase activities (MMP-2 and MMP-9) and neurological examination (NIHSS) were performed on days 1, 5 and 10 of IS. After 3 months, 42 patients were examined by functional disability scales: Barthel index (BI) and modified Rankin scale (mRS). Results - The VDR of ischaemic focus correlated well with the average S100BB serum level, MMP-9 serum activity and NIHSS score. The weak but statistically significant relationships were noticed between the VDR vs BI and mRS estimated 3 months after stroke. Conclusion - VDR reflects well the damage ratio of brain tissue during IS. In addition, the study underlines the relationship between VDR vs patients' neurological status and disability after IS. |
