Abstract
To compare the effectiveness and safety of the use of non-immunogenic staphylokinase (NS) and alteplase (AP) for intravenous thrombolysis (IT) for ischemic stroke (IS) in real clinical practice at a regional vascular center. Data from 100 patients with IS who received IT with NS and 100 patients who received IT with AP for the period 2022-2023 were analyzed. The groups were comparable on sociodemographic parameters, cardiovascular risk factors and diseases, and stroke characteristics. Door-to-needle time was 17 (13-22) min in the NS group and 38 (33-42) min in the AP group (p<0.001). During control neuroimaging, a cerebral infarction was detected in 46% of patients in the NS group and 61% of patients in the AP group (OR 0.479 [0.263; 0.875], p=0.035). When performing IT with NS, an NIHSS score of 0 points (no neurological deficit) was observed twice as often (OR 2.202 [1.079; 4.504], p=0.023). The incidence of hemorrhagic transformation, including symptomatic, as well as hospital mortality did not differ. IT with NS is associated with a lower probability of cerebral infarction and greater positive dynamics of the neurological status in comparison with the use of AP already within the first stage of treatment and rehabilitation.
