Abstract
Background
The C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) is a novel prognostic biomarker of systemic inflammation and nutritional status. The association between CAR and the long-term outcome of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains unclear.
Methods
From January 2014 to September 2016, 497 patients with spontaneous ICH were enrolled in our study from 13 hospitals in Beijing. According to the CAR quartiles, patients were classified into four groups (Q1-Q4). Logistic regression was applied to analyze the relationship between different CAR levels and main outcome (90-day and 1-year mRS 4-6). Restricted cubic splines and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of CAR for poor clinical outcomes were assessed.
Results
In the multivariate logistic regression model, compared with the lowest quartile of CAR, the adjusted odds ratios of the Q2, Q3, and Q4 group for 90-day mRS score of 4-6 were 3.64 (1.61–8.23), 3.83 (1.67–8.77), and 8.91 (3.85–20.64). In terms of 1-year mRS score of 4-6, compared with the lowest quartile of CAR, the adjusted odds ratios of the Q3 and Q4 group were 3.31 (1.33–8.22) and 6.87 (2.81–16.78).
Conclusions
A high CAR level was associated with a high risk of long-term adverse prognosis in patients with ICH, and the risk of ICH poor outcome increased steadily with CAR rising in a certain range, and maintained in a high level thereafter.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases publishes original papers on basic and clinical science related to the fields of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases. The Journal also features review articles, controversies, methods and technical notes, selected case reports and other original articles of special nature. Its editorial mission is to focus on prevention and repair of cerebrovascular disease. Clinical papers emphasize medical and surgical aspects of stroke, clinical trials and design, epidemiology, stroke care delivery systems and outcomes, imaging sciences and rehabilitation of stroke. The Journal will be of special interest to specialists involved in caring for patients with cerebrovascular disease, including neurologists, neurosurgeons and cardiologists.
