Abstract
Background. This study is aimed at investigating the relationship between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and hyperhomocysteinemia (HHCY) in patients with ischemic stroke (IS). Methods. This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data and laboratory results of 110 IS patients. According to the cut-off value of HCY = 15 μmol/L, the included patients were divided into the normal HCY (NHCY, n = 69) and the high HCY (HHCY, n = 41) groups. The relationship between NLR, PLR, and HCY between these groups was then compared. Results. NLR and PLR levels in IS patients with HHCY were significantly higher than those in IS patients without HHCY (P < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that NLR and PLR were positively correlated with hs-CRP, RDW, N, L, and HCY (P < 0.05). NLR and PLR were the largest predictors of IS-related HHCY, followed by WBC, hs-CRP, RDW, VLDL, and TG. Additionally, NLR and PLR were independent risk factors for IS-related HHCY. Conclusions. NLR and PLR may be fast, cheap, and easy-to-analyze biomarkers for predicting IS-related HHCY.
期刊介绍:
Acta Neurologica Scandinavica aims to publish manuscripts of a high scientific quality representing original clinical, diagnostic or experimental work in neuroscience. The journal''s scope is to act as an international forum for the dissemination of information advancing the science or practice of this subject area. Papers in English will be welcomed, especially those which bring new knowledge and observations from the application of therapies or techniques in the combating of a broad spectrum of neurological disease and neurodegenerative disorders. Relevant articles on the basic neurosciences will be published where they extend present understanding of such disorders. Priority will be given to review of topical subjects. Papers requiring rapid publication because of their significance and timeliness will be included as ''Clinical commentaries'' not exceeding two printed pages, as will ''Clinical commentaries'' of sufficient general interest. Debate within the speciality is encouraged in the form of ''Letters to the editor''. All submitted manuscripts falling within the overall scope of the journal will be assessed by suitably qualified referees.
