Abstract: Objective To explore the related factors that affect the prognosis of ischemic stroke in the elders. Methods Selected 247 elder patients with acute ischemic stroke who were hospitalized in the Department of Neurology, Dongcheng First People’s Hospital, Beijing from January 2016 to June 2019. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≤3 points, according to age, divided into 113 cases in the elderly group (aged 80 years old and above)and 134 cases in the junior elder group(60-79 years old). The general data, laboratory examination results, Oxford Community Stroke Project (OCSP) classification, etiological classification, risk factors and prognosis of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results The NIHSS score, diabetes mellitus, history of stroke, history of atrial fibrillation and post stroke pneumonia in elderly patients were significantly higher than those in the middle and low age group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in gender, body mass index (BMI), hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, valvular heart disease, antiplatelet, anticoagulation, neurological progress, laboratory results, classification and etiology of OCSP (P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the NIHSS score, diabetes mellitus, past stroke history, atrial fibrillation history and post stroke pneumonia were all the influencing factors of 3 months' poor prognosis in elderly patients and middle and low age patients (P<0.05). The factors influencing the prognosis of the two groups were analyzed. The rate of poor prognosis and mortality in the elderly group were higher than those in the middle and low age group (P<0.05). Conclusion NIHSS score, diabetes mellitus, history of stroke, history of atrial fibrillation, and pneumonia after stroke in elderly patients with mild ischemic stroke are higher risk factors for the prognosis of light ischemic stroke in elderly patients.
