Abstract:〔Abstract〕 Objective This study aimed to explore the relationship between dynamic cerebral autoregulation and shortterm outcome in patients with anterior circulation strokes. Methods 17 patients with anterior circulation strokes and 17 healthy controls from March 2019 to September 2019 in the neurology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Shenzhen University were collected. Noninvasive continuous cerebral blood flow velocity of the bilateral middle artery and arterial blood pressure were recorded within 7 days of onset. Transfer function analysis (TFA) was applied to calculate dCA parameters (phase and gain). The clinical prognosis was assessed using the mRS at 90 days. Dynamic cerebral autoregulation was reviewed at 90 days and compared with the control group. Results The focal and contralateral phases were significantly lower in patients with acute anterior circulation stroke with controls (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between strokes with controls after 90 days. In the stroke group, phase of the lesion side was negatively correlated with the 90 d mRS score (r = -0.55, P = 0.02). Conclusion dCA of both hemispheres is impaired in the acute phase in anterior circulation stroke, and it will fully recover after 90 days, and it can predict the short-term functional prognosis.
