Progressive Motor Deficits in Lacunar Infarction Neurol 52:29-33, Nakamura,K.,et al, 1999 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Of 92 patients, 25 (27%) had progression of deficits. Diabetes mellitus (p = 0.02) and severity of motor deficit on admission (p = 0.006) were related independently to progression in a logistic multiple regression analysis. Sizes of the infarct was slightly larger (1.2 +/- 0.4 cm2 versus 0.9 +/- 0.5 cm2; p = 0.01) and functional status at those without progression. There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding the site of the infarct or blood pressure or hematocrit levels on or after admission. The progression of motor deficits is associated with a relatively poor functional outcome. Diabetes mellitus and the severity of motor deficit on admission may predict progression of motor deficits.
