Abstract：Objective To study the effects of thrombolysis on short-and long-term outcome in acute cerebral infarction patients. Meth-ods The patients accepted thrombolysis and remained severe neurologic deficits were as observation group (n=29), and the patients without thrombolysis matching the onset time and severity of disease were as control group (n=94). They were assessed with National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Manual Muscle Test (MMT), Brunnstrom Grade, modified Barthel Index (MBI) when they admitted and dis-charged, and with modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 6 months later. Results The scores of MMT, MBI and Brunnstrom grade improved in both groups when discharged (P<0.05), except the NIHSS in the control group, and the scores of NIHSS and MBI improved more in the observa-tion group than in the control group (P<0.05). The score of mRS was better in the observation group than in the control group 6 months later (P<0.05). Conclusion Thrombolysis can improve the neurologic function and activities of daily living in the acute stage of cerebral infarc-tion, as well as the long-term outcome of activities.
