BACKGROUND: Cognitive decline is a significant concern for stroke survivors, affecting their quality of life and increasing their burden on the healthcare system. DL-3-n-butylphthalide (butylphthalide) has shown efficacy in the short-term treatment of various cognitive impairments. This study evaluated the efficacy of butylphthalide in preventing cognitive decline over a 12-month period in patients with ischaemic stroke.
METHODS: This prospective following-up study involved patients newly diagnosed with ischaemic stroke between 1 month and 6 months after stroke onset and not in the acute phase. Patients were assigned to either the butylphthalide or control group. Cognitive function was assessed using the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) at baseline and at the 12-month follow-up. Statistical analyses included t-tests, χ2 tests and multivariate regression analyses.
RESULTS: Butylphthalide was negatively associated with the MMSE D-value (β=-0.122; 95% CI -1.932 to -0.298; p=0.003) and the MMSE D-value percentage (β=-0.117; 95% CI -0.057 to -0.011; p=0.004). A multivariate analysis indicated that butylphthalide treatment was negatively associated with both changes in orientation and language score. Additionally, the incidence of cognitive decline was significantly lower in the butylphthalide group (OR, 0.612; p=0.020) than the control group. An age of ≥60 years and lower educational level were identified as risk factors for lower cognitive score and cognitive decline.
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that butylphthalide is effective in preventing cognitive decline in patients with ischaemic stroke. These findings have significant implications for clinical practice, suggesting that butylphthalide could be incorporated into standard post-stroke care regimens to improve patient outcomes and reduce the healthcare burden. Additional multicentre double-blind trials are recommended to confirm these results in diverse populations.
