Hypercholesterolemia is known a major risk factor for ischemic stroke. The low-density lipoprotein cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C/HDL-C) ratio has been recognized as a strong risk predictor of cardiovascular diseases. However, the association between the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and the prognosis of acute intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is unclear. Consequently, in the current study, we attempt to explore the association between LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and clinical outcomes in patients with ICH.
The database was collected from a multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study, conducted in 13 hospitals in Beijing from January 2014 to September 2016. A total of 1,964 patients with ICH were initially screened in our database. Next, we selected patients with admission serum lipid information for retrospective analysis. Patients were categorized into four groups based on LDL-C/HDL-C ratio quartiles. The main outcomes were 30-day and 90-day poor functional outcome, which is defned as modifed Rankin Scale score of 3 to 6, and 90-day all-cause death. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and 30-day or 90-day poor functional outcome. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis and Cox regression were used to assess the association between LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and 90-day all-cause death. Restricted cubic splines were used to explore the nonlinear association between LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and the outcome of patients with ICH.
Lower LDL-C/HDL-C ratio (< 1.74) is independently associated with an increased risk of poor functional outcome in patients with ICH. In the population of patients whom we studied, there is a nonlinear association between LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and 90-day poor functional outcome, and patients with an LDL-C/HDL-C ratio of 3.1 to 3.5 tend to have the lowest risk of 90-day poor functional outcome.
A total of 491 patients with spontaneous ICH were fnally enrolled in our study. The mean age was 57.6 years old, and 72.1% (357/491) were men. After adjustment for confounders, patients in the lowest LDL-C/HDL-C quartile (< 1.74) had a signifcantly higher risk of 30-day and 90-day poor functional outcome compared with those in the highest quartile (> 3.16; 30-day: adjusted odds ratio 3.61, 95% confdence interval 1.68–7.72; 90-day: adjusted odds ratio 2.82, 95% confdence interval 1.33–5.95). Restricted cubic splines depicted a nonlinear association between LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and 90-day poor functional outcomes, indicating LDL-C/HDL-C ratio of 3.1–3.5 was correlated with better 90-day functional outcome. However, no signifcant correlation was found between low LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and 90-day all-cause death.
