The prognostic value of serum bilirubin in stroke is controversial since bilirubin has both neuroprotective and neurotoxic properties. We aimed to investigate the association between serum bilirubin, including total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL) and indirect bilirubin (IBIL) and poor functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) or transient ischemic attack (TIA).
Multivariable logistic regression.
Elevated levels of serum bilirubin were significantly associated with poor functional outcomes in patients with AIS or TIA at 3 months and 1 year.
