讨论炎性指标在不同亚组分组中对卒中预后的预测作用差异
Methods: We derived data from the China National Stroke Registry II. Patients with ischemic stroke were classified into four groups by leukocyte count quartiles within the first 24h after admission. Adverse clinical outcomes were defined as recurrent stroke, all-cause death, and poor functional outcomes (3 ≤ mRS ≤ 5) at 3-months and 1-year follow-up. The subgroup factors were age, sex, history of hypertension, history of diabetes, history of previous stroke, or transient ischemic attack and smoking status. We assessed the association between leukocyte count and adverse clinical outcomes and evaluated this association in different subgroups.
Conclusions: Leukocyte count is associated with short-term and long-term clinical outcomes of acute ischemic stroke and may have predictive value, especially in patients with certain specific characteristics.
Results: A total of 14,678 patients were included. Patients in higher quartiles were likely to be younger, male, smokers, and drinkers, and to have a shorter time from symptom onset to arrival, a more proportion of history of diabetes, atrial fibrillation, and hypertension, and a higher severity of stroke. Higher quartiles were associated with elevated risk of adverse clinical outcomes at 3-months and 1-year follow-up. Leukocyte count had a moderate accuracy to predict clinical outcomes. There was no difference in the relationship between leukocyte count and adverse clinical outcomes across subgroups such as age, sex, history of hypertension, and smoking. The effect of leukocyte count on all-cause death was pronounced among patients with previous stroke or transient ischemic attack, and the effect of leukocyte count on short-term poor functional outcomes was also pronounced among patients without diabetes.
