Strege, R.J., Kiefer, R. & Herrmann, M. Contributing factors to quality of life after vertebral artery dissection: a prospective comparative study. Exner C, Weniger G, Irle E. Cerebellar lesions in the PICA but not SCA territory impair cognition. J Clin Neurol. Psychometric self-rating tools, as used in this study, may enable timely detection of such sequelae and facilitate therapeutic intervention. Folstein MF, Folstein SE, McHugh PR. Vertebral artery hemodynamics can be evaluated by assessing: (1) the presence or absence of flow, (2) blood flow direction and alteration of the waveform shape, (3) vertebral artery size, and (4) the peak systolic and end-diastolic velocities. 2005;1(1):5968. In this interview, Amy Wells talks candidly about her stroke and how life has changed for the better in the Accurate and prompt diagnosis of this condition is crucial because timely and appropriate therapy can significantly reduce the risk of stroke and long-term sequelae. About 40% of patients die immediately from complete rupture and bleeding out from the aorta. Engel GL. On rare occasions, this can lead to stroke. Its more common in people younger than 45. Helmstaedter C, Lendt M, Lux S. Verbaler Lern- und Merkfhigkeitstest (VLMT). This risk decreases over time. 3, in comparison to good outcome subgroups of D and I with mRS 02 and SS-QOL4.0. Elevated levels of posttraumatic stress symptoms, as evaluated by PTSS-14 scoring in our study, are in line with recent reports on the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after stroke, even after minor stroke [49] or transient ischemic attack [50]. The health-related quality of life after VAD was examined in a standardized manner for the first time in only two published studies [5, 6] in the last decade. BMC Neurology Because previous studies have shown no crucial role of neurovascular risk factors or sociodemographic factors for QOL of VAD patients, we focused our analysis of potential contributing factors for QOL on previously less investigated neurological, neurocognitive and psychological variables with special respect to the biopsychosocial model [12]. Symptomatic intracranial vertebral artery atherosclerotic stenosis (>/=70%) with concurrent contralateral vertebral atherosclerotic diseases in 88 patients treated with the intracranial stenting. While UK-PTSS-14 was initially applied to patients after intensive care unit (ICU) discharge, Radtke et al. In the most severe cases, vertebral artery dissection causes stroke: In some people, vertebral artery dissection occurs for no known reason. Among 24 stroke mimics only two patients (8.3%) with mRS 02 reported a bad quality of life in contrast to 20 patients (83.3%) with mRS 02. The vertebral arteries have many small branches. Contributing factors to quality of life after vertebral artery dissection: a prospective comparative study. (2014) [46]. Testbatterie zur Aufmerksamkeitsprfung (TAP) Version 2.2. PubMedGoogle Scholar. Third, psychological condition was not examined at baseline. 2013;94(12):253541. Their series comprised physically less affected patients, two-third after ICAD and one-third after VAD, with ischemic stroke in form of mainly small lesions in about one-third of cases only. An artery tear, also called a dissection, occurs when layers of the interior arterial walls separate. MH contributed to the experimental design, data analyses and manuscript writing. VAD may cause cerebral ischemia in about 80% of cases [3] and predominantly affect patients during their professional life. J Neurol. Likewise, functional impairment measured by mRS at follow-up significantly correlated with reduced SS-QOL at follow-up in concordance with the results of the mixed cervical artery dissection series of Fischer et al. Twenty-three patients with VAD had (subtotal) occlusion, eight patients a stenosis and three no significant stenosis. Gttingen: Hogrefe Verlag; 2000. CAS The risk of dying can be as high as 1% to 3% per hour until the patient gets treatment. The cut off in the German version is defined as a score of 40 points with a sensitivity of 82% and a good specificity of 92%. Furthermore, some recently published data suggested for the first time a role of VAD-accompanied atherosclerosis as additional putative contributing factor to functional outcome at three months in posterior circulation stroke (PCS) patients [39]. Both conditions fit if someone is suffering from a spontaneous artery dissection as well as subarachnoid hemorrhage in contrast to ischemic stroke caused by vascular risk factors which can be treated. 1987;149(2):3516. 2003;250(10):117984. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand. Rainer J. Strege. Speck et al. Follow-up group comparison of variables of paired samples for changes over time was performed by using the Wilcoxon-test. Traenka C, Jung S, Gralla J, Kurmann R, Stippich C, Simonetti BG, et al. (2018) [38] reported more recently in their observational cohort study on patients with cervical, mainly carotid artery dissection, that numerically, but not statistically significant more patients with combined endovascular therapy (EVT)/intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) had excellent outcome and arterial recanalization than patients treated with EVT only. The authors declare that they have no competing interests. Physical Activity and Exercise in Patients With Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection and Fibromuscular Dysplasia. The subgroup of patients with good functional outcome (mRS score2) and bad SS-QOL score (3.9) comprised ten patients with arterial occlusion or subtotal occlusion versus three with or without stenosis. Thirteen of 32 VAD patients (40.6%) rated QOL at follow-up as bad (SS-QOL score3.9) despite of good functional outcome (mRS score 02). J Neurol. Google Scholar. Fourth, maladaptive coping strategies were significant predictors for and associated with posttraumatic stress disorder in patients with cervical artery dissection in the study of Speck et al. Reitan RM, Wolfson D. The Halstead-Reitan neuropsychological test battery: therapy and clinical interpretation. This may also refer to some of the older patients in our study though we have not examined them for arteriosclerosis in such detail. In line with previously published and reviewed data [36], the rate of ischemic recurrence of 9% in our VAD patients (literature estimates between 0 and 13.3%) and rate of recurrent dissection of 3% (literature estimates between 0 and 25.0%) were low. Afterwards we developed a multivariate regression model using variables that have proven statistically significant at the univariate analysis at a significant level of 5% (p<0.05). Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. But timely treatment, typically blood thinners or a procedure, can save your life. White matter hyperintensities as a predictor of neuropsychological deficits post-stroke. (2009) [40] reported that severe periventricular white matter disease was significantly associated with poor functional outcome at 3months after ischemic stroke, independently of other factors. Finally, additional potential outcome-relevant lifestyle-factors such as nutrition and sports activity as well as social factors such as social networks and social support were not taken into account of this study. Cervical artery dissection, including VAD and carotid artery dissection, are rare complications of pregnancy. (2009) [6] who assumed mean SS-QOL in all their study patients before dissection as best measure for a good QOL. Gttingen: Hogrefe Verlag; 1983. Leys D, Debette S. Long-term outcome in patients with cervical-artery dissections: there is still a lot to know. Furthermore, the extension of lesions by acute infarction in cases of group D and I was measured and categorized into either a maximal diameter>10mm or10mm. Lancet Neurol. In conclusion, VAD may significantly impair QOL at 6months follow-up by multiple factors. Trends towards worse cognitive function without statistical significance were found in group D and I compared to group M for the following cognitive domains: divided and selective attention (TAP), combined attention and executive function (TMT A and B), mental rotation (LPS-7), and spatial cognitive function (FPT). The inclusion criteria were (1) a reliable diagnosis, (2) age between 18 and 85years, and (3)] medically stable psychological and physical condition for testing, i.e. Other published data remained inconsistent. Engelter ST, Grond-Ginsbach C, Metso TM, Metso AJ, Kloss M, Debette S, et al. In contrast to younger people who are supported by their also young family as well as the health system to achieve occupational reintegration as fast as possible, elderly people may be limited by less easy access to rehabilitation facilities, less support by potentially also disabled caregivers and, probably most important, by potential comorbidities and/or neurovascular risk factors. If the dissection reaches your brain or theres a hemorrhagic stroke, then blood thinners may not be safe. With a dissection, blood gets trapped between the intima and media. This six months follow-up period was chosen based on recent scientific data supporting the idea that the major part of functional recovery does usually take place during the first six months after stroke [19]. Furthermore, reinfarction as a negative event or recanalization of the former dissected artery vessel as positive event is most probable during the same time period of first six months. Chronic posttraumatic stress symptoms after nonsevere stroke. Toschke AM, Tilling K, Cox AM, Rudd AG, Heuschmann PU, Wolfe CD. 2005;76(9):122933. The prevalence of 73.6% VAD patients with ischemic stroke and 14.7% with TIA in our study corresponded well to 67% (114 patients) and 10% (17 patients), respectively, in a large European multicenter prospective study on patients with first-ever spontaneous VAD [3]. No individual persons personal details, images or videos are being used in this study. Previous studies described poststroke cognitive decline by global cognitive screening such as MMSE and more recently and more sensitively by MoCA [42]. It has been already earlier demonstrated in both patients with stroke and patients with Parkinsons disease that the type of psychosocial alterations, psychosocial adaptation and coping strategies seem to be of much greater impact than the degree of physical impairment [56]. PubMed Differences in reduced neurostatus at baseline (NIH-SS on admission)(p=0.042) in subgroup D (mRS 02) SS-QOL3.9 vs. SS-QOL4.0 and higher grade of white matter lesions (WML)(p=0.042) in subgroup I (mRS 02) SS-QOL3.9 vs. SS-QOL4.0 were not significant after correction of cumulative alpha-error. Likewise, there was no statistical group difference of the mean values of the total quality of life score measured by SS-QOL. Exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) VAD due to severe trauma - in contrast to conventionally as spontaneous labeled dissection due to minor prior cervical trauma which should be better termed mechanical trigger event according to Engelter et al. Risk factors and clinical presentation of craniocervical arterial dissection: a prospective study. Mean MoCA values of group D (24.24) and I (24.86), however, displayed slightly pathological scores. Three initially included woman of ages 70, 71, and 77years had to be excluded secondarily because of concurrent diseases in form of preexisting idiopathic cerebellar syndrome, acute symptomatic anterior circulation brain infarction, and predominant arteriitis temporalis (first with ocular disorder, paresis of arm, ataxia, and dysarthria plus suspected brainstem infarction due to VAD; second with VAD and arm paresis; third with VAD and visual field disorder). 37 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included into the study as group D. In addition, 38 patients with acute stroke or TIA of the posterior circulation were included as comparison group I and 27 stroke mimics of the posterior circulation as comparison group M (Fig. Arch Phys Med Rehabil. More importantly, however, our study showed also several limitations. Five patients were excluded from the dissection study group after screening according to the inclusion/exclusion study criteria: One woman (70years old; ataxia, dizziness, facial weakness; medulla oblongata infarction by vertebral artery occlusion suspicious for but not yet proven dissection) deceased due to unexpected cardiopulmonary failure not otherwise specified in the acute phase. Second, apart from elevated scores of stress symptoms, significantly higher scores of pre-baseline symptoms of anxiety were found which might be indicative for a predisposing vulnerability for anxiety disorders and subtypes like (subthreshold) posttraumatic stress disorder. Analysis of subscales demonstrated that a reduced quality of life at follow-up (SS-QOL3.9) in both subgroups (mRS 02) of group D and I corresponded to main impairments, that were significantly reduced mean values, in all psychosocial domains such as Thinking, Personality, Mood, Family Roles, Social Roles and Energy, as shown for subgroup D in Fig. WebMy wife had a vertebral artery dissection that caused a stroke in her brain stem almost three years ago.

In our study, there was a trend in patients with good functional outcome (mRS score 02) to higher association of occlusion/subtotal occlusion with worse QOL, though this was statistically nonsignificant (p<0.05). These include vertebral and carotid arteries. Halstead WC. MMSE and MoCA inversely cross-correlated with NIH-SS scores in group D with weak significance, MoCA scoring with NIH-SS also significantly in group I, and MMSE scoring with NIH-SS only non-significantly in group I. A new rating scale for age-related white matter changes applicable to MRI and CT. Stroke. California Privacy Statement, They finally hypothesized that the rate of incidence must be equal throughout life. First of all, the study cohort showed an unusual high percentage of elderly VAD patients (mean age 62.611.9). Tedesco AM, Chiricozzi FR, Clausi S, Lupo M, Molinari M, Leggio MG. All authors read and approved the final manuscript. Traenka et al. 2006;66(4):5136. The overrepresentation of elderly patients in our study may be most probably explained to some extent by a hospital-based selection bias: (1) Patients were recruited when referred to the supraregional stroke unit of our teaching hospital. A total score11 out of 14 items corresponds to a pathological result, a score between 8 and 10 means a suspect result. 2011;134(Pt 12):367286. The grade of white matter lesions (WML) showed no significant difference between groups, even if it was less frequent in stroke mimics. 2.

Depressive symptoms in stroke patients treated and non-treated with intravenous thrombolytic therapy: a 1-year follow-up study. Mean values of mRS scoring improved from baseline to follow-up in all three groups but significantly only in group I. Cerebrovasc Dis Extra. While the mean group values of MMSE around 28 out of 30 were within normal range, only the group of stroke mimics showed a normal mean value of 26.96 if scored by MoCA. Nearly all other potential contributing factors were not significantly different. Ischemic stroke was found in only 33.9%. 2003;41(11):145260. Czechowsky D, Hill MD. Use of a screening questionnaire for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on a sample of UK ICU patients. A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician. According to modern stress concepts, situations that in particular include unpredictability and uncontrollability can trigger stress [54]. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. A better understanding of clinical courses and their affecting variables with special respect to the biopsychosocial model [12] seemed to be of great importance for the neurorehabilitation of such VAD patients in the future. The first data collection in each patient was performed at baseline (time point t1) in the acute phase in hospital after clinical stabilization: neuro-status at admission by National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIH-SS) score [18] according to patients records, neurostatus (mRS) and clinical data at baseline according to examination and interview, cognitive screening as well as extensive neuropsychological testing by battery at baseline, and administering self-rating protocols for symptoms of anxiety and depression pre-baseline as well as stroke-related QOL pre-baseline. Therefore, pathological alterations might have been either too subtle for detection, the applied neuropsychological tests not sensitive enough, or the study cohorts too heterogenous. Otherwise, antithrombotic therapy was I was unable to return to work for three months. WebCervical artery dissections typically heal very well, returning the vessel to normal. In our study, five patients (15%) of group D displayed scoring for posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS-14) above cut-off scores indicating PTSD compared to one patient each in group I as well as group M. Previous data [52], however, have already stressed that even subsyndromal scores may be of relevance, as can be assumed for our thirteen subgroup D patients with elevated PTSS-14 levels and bad QOL despite good functional outcome. A dissection is a tear in one or more tissue layers that make up your vertebral artery. Even if WML predominated in groups D and I compared to stroke mimics, they showed no significant inter-group difference. (2004) [45]. 2011;92(5):7928. J Neurol.

PubMed Complete data analysis of paired mRS and SS-QOL scores at follow-up was possible in all 33 surviving patients of group D but one who provided only incomplete SS-QOL data. In the SSQOL-subgroup analysis of patients with good functional outcome (mRS score2) and good SS-QOL score (4.0) at follow-up were eight patients with arterial occlusion or subtotal occlusion versus five with or without stenosis. Article Neurology. The following are key points to remember from this Viewpoint article on physical activity and exercise in patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and fibromuscular Despite obvious overrepresentation of elderly VAD patients and the need for confirmation of our results by larger studies, the main findings are in line with all three younger aged study cohorts that were previously examined for health related QOL after cervical artery dissection as discussed above: (1) Significant percentage of patients with bad QOL (SS-QOL scoring) despite good functional outcome (mRS sccoring) - Fischer et al. 2018;3(1):4756. 2017;7(3):16572. Coil Embolization for the Treatment of Ruptured Dissecting Vertebral Aneurysms. There was a high responder rate in follow-up assessments: follow-up data were obtained in 97% of patients in group D, 100% in group I, and 96% in group M. Secondary ischemia prevention by medication until follow-up was provided by platelet aggregation inhibitors in 76.5% patients of group D and 81.6% of group I and oral anticoagulants in 23.5% patients of group D and 18.4% of group I. Vascular events of importance occurred until follow-up time point as follows: In group D one recurrent stroke, one suspected stroke, one new stroke due to dissection of the internal carotid artery, and one transient ischemic attack. (2009) [6] prospectively found 3793455days after event 30% patients with impaired SS-QOL scoring among 66% with favorable functional outcome (mRS01) in a mixed series including patients with VAD and patients with ICAD. Most patients achieved good QOL (SS-QOL4.0) at 6months follow-up in group I (68.4%) and even better in group M (87.5%) in contrast with group D (46.9%) (Table2). Most dissections heal on their own. 1999;53(8):183943. The mini-mental state examination and Montreal cognitive assessment in persons with mild subacute stroke: relationship to functional outcome.

GA compendium of neuropsychological tests. (2008) [47] in the United Kingdom (UK) as a new, more practical screening tool for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Radiographics. Apart from the presence of ischemic stroke lesions in groups D and I, socio-demographic and clinical data of the three groups were without significant differences, as shown in Table1. CTA, MRI, and The senior age of VAD patients may have several important implications for social life. 2008;28(6):171128. The mean decrease of QOL, that is the difference of SS-QOL scoring, from pre-baseline to follow-up, was significantly stronger in the subgroups (mRS 02) with bad quality of life (SS-QOL3.9). They argued that a systematic follow-up of the vascular lesions may induce anxiety both in patients and physicians and lead to inappropriate treatments. The latter one was also used to determine the functional outcome at follow-up, filled out by the patient. Classification of subtype of acute ischemic stroke. In case of significant difference, a subsequent analysis between two group pairs was performed: For categorical variables the Chi-square test or Fishers exact test, if appropriate, and for metric variables the Mann-Whitney U-test was used with Bonferroni-correction of cumulative alpha-error. Horn W. L-P-S Leistungsprfsystem. Psychological variables such as pre-baseline symptoms of anxiety and depression were not significantly different between our groups. Brott T, Adams HP Jr, Olinger CP, Marler JR, Barsan WG, Biller J, et al. [13] and in the context of a fitting medical history, i.e. 2013;80(21):19507. They included benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in 40%, vestibular neuritis in 24%, vestibulocochlear irritation in 4%, Schwannoma in 4%, suspected somatoform dizziness in 8% and nonspecific dizziness of unknown origin in 16%. One main finding was the high prevalence of reduced QOL despite good mRS (02) in about 40% (n=13) of our VAD patients at follow-up in line with the findings of the observational series Czechowsky et al. Fischer et al. Definitions for use in a multicenter clinical trial. Sixteen patients (47%) presented with vertigo or dizziness as either the only symptom or among other symptoms. BMC Musculoskelet Disord. Thomas LC, Rivett DA, Attia JR, Levi CR. (2005) [41], for example, noted a correlation of the degree of WML with cognitive decline. This can happen by keeping your neck in a hyper-flexed position (looking upward) for extended periods. Psychological self assessment for symptoms of depression (HADS-D/D), symptoms of anxiety (HADS-D/A), and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS-14) showed significantly positive correlations in all groups. They were almost 20years older than in other large study samples ( [3], mean age 439 [57], mean age 41.19.9]. In a subsequent multiple regression analysis, neurocognition at baseline measured by MMSE, neurostatus at baseline measured by mRS and posttraumatic stress symptoms measured by PTSS-14 proved to be independent predictors for the quality of life at follow-up, explaining in combination 71% of its variance. 2017;88(14):131320. 2008;63(6):1095104 discussion 04-5. WebThe vertebral arteries are part of the circulatory system. Corresponding to their multivariate analysis, the NIH-SS score on admission was also found to be an independent predictor of QOL at follow-up in our univariate regression analysis. Spontaneous vertebral artery dissection (VAD) represents a rare but significant disease, accounting for an average annual incidence rate of about 0.97 to 1.5 Konrad C, Muller GA, Langer C, Kuhlenbaumer G, Berger K, Nabavi DG, et al. 2006;67(10):180912. Background: Vertebral artery dissection (VAD) may cause cerebral ischemia and impair quality of life (QOL) despite of good functional outcome. Part of Painting a ceiling with your neck in an extended position for a long time. 2010;45(1112):68895. 2012;13:164. Cleveland Clinic is a non-profit academic medical center. If the artery ruptures or a blood clot disrupts blood flow to your brain, you may experience signs of a stroke. From October 1, 2010, to June 31, 2013, 42 consecutive patients with spontaneous first-time vertebral artery dissection (VAD), who were admitted to our hospital under the suspected diagnosis of an acute stroke, were registered and screened for this study. It may also occur with sudden neck movements and trauma. Medical therapy and ongoing monitoring can help people with vertebral artery dissection avoid complications. Differential features of carotid and vertebral artery dissections: the CADISP study.
