Multivariate Cox proportional hazard model for the predictive value of stenosis and calcifications
| IAS (≥30%) | IAC (per vessels) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HR | 95% CI | HR | 95% CI | |
| Poor outcome (ischaemic event or death) | ||||
| Crude estimate | 1.73 | 1.21 to 2.48 | 1.41 | 1.26 to 1.58 |
| Adjusted estimate* | 1.25 | 0.86 to 1.81 | 1.18 | 1.03 to 1.36 |
| Ischaemic event alone: | ||||
| Crude estimate | 2.13 | 1.34 to 3.38 | 1.39 | 1.19 to 1.61 |
| Adjusted estimate† | 1.67 | 1.04 to 2.64 | 1.22 | 1.02 to 1.47 |
*Adjusted for age, NIHSS, mRS before stroke, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, extracranial carotid stenosis and atherosclerotic aorta lesions.
†Adjusted for age, hypertension, extracranial carotid stenosis and atherosclerotic aorta lesions.
IAC, intracranial arterial calcifications; IAS, intracranial arterial stenosis; mRS, modified Rankin Scale; NIHSS, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale.
