To explore the related risk factors for the onset of post-stroke spasticity (PSS).
Methods: Medical records of stroke patients hospitalized in the Rehabilitation Center of the First Affiliated
Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from April 1, 2022, to December 31, 2023, were
enrolled. Patients were divided into the PSS group and the non-PSS (NPSS) group based on the presence or
absence of PSS. Univariate and multivariate logistic analyses were used to analyze potential risk factors.
Results: Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed six risk factors for the occurrence of PSS, including a
disease course longer than 2 weeks, right cerebral hemisphere damage, higher NIHSS scores (ranging from 5 to
20), and lower MBI scores (ranging from 41 to 59). In contrast, older age at stroke onset and high triglyceride
levels were found to reduce the incidence of PSS. Conclusion: This study identified a total of six risk factors
for PSS.
