PG - 2101-2108 AB - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) combined with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on the neurologic function and coagulation factors of patients with intracranial venous thrombosis (ICVT). METHODS: The clinical data of 80 patients with ICVT admitted to the No. 2 Hospital of Baoding from February 2020 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were assigned to a control group (n=32) and a research group (n=48) according to different treatment methods. The neurological function score, and the levels of D-dimer (D-D), fibrinogen (FIB), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were compared between the two groups. The two groups were also compared regarding the curative effect, toxic and side effects, as well as quality of life (QoL). RESULTS: After treatment, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was significantly lower in the research group compared to the control group. At 1, 2 and 3 weeks after treatment, the levels of D-D and FIB, as well as inflammatory factors TNF-alpha and CRP were lower in the research group compared to the control group. The overall response rate was significantly higher in the research group compared to the control group, while there was no significant difference in the total incidence of toxic and adverse effects between the two groups. After treatment, the QoL of patients assessed by the Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 (GQOLI-74) from the domains of physical, social, and psychological function as well as material life status was significantly better in the research group. CONCLUSIONS: LMWH combined with HBO can effectively improve the clinical efficacy and neurologic function of patients with ICVT and reduce the levels of coagulation factors and inflammatory factors.
