Abstract
Objective: Sarcopenia significantly impacts prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This study investigates the relationship between serum creatinine/serum cystatin C (Cr/CysC) levels and short-term prognosis in AIS patients, aiming to inform post-treatment strategies.
Methods: We analyzed AIS patients at the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China from January 2022 to January 2024. Baseline data were collected through interviews and medical records, with a 3-month follow-up for prognosis assessment. 265 were included in the final analysis. Cr/CysC levels were categorized into quartiles (Q1-Q4). Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline analysis were employed to evaluate the association between Cr/CysC and prognosis.
Results: Among the 265 patients, the average age was 66.18 ± 12.41 years, and 129 (48.68%) had poor short-term prognosis. Multivariate logistic regression showed that patients in the lowest quartile of Cr/CysC (Q1) had a significantly lower risk of poor prognosis compared to those in the highest quartile (Q4) (odds ratio = 0.287, 95% confidence interval: 0.090-0.917, P = 0.035). A linear relationship was identified between Cr/CysC and prognosis (P overall<0.001, P nonlinear = 0.571).
Conclusions: This study establishes a significant linear correlation between Cr/CysC levels and poor short-term prognosis in AIS patients. Encouraging muscle function exercises may enhance patient outcomes.
期刊介绍:
World Neurosurgery has an open access mirror journal World Neurosurgery: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The journal''s mission is to:
-To provide a first-class international forum and a 2-way conduit for dialogue that is relevant to neurosurgeons and providers who care for neurosurgery patients. The categories of the exchanged information include clinical and basic science, as well as global information that provide social, political, educational, economic, cultural or societal insights and knowledge that are of significance and relevance to worldwide neurosurgery patient care.
-To act as a primary intellectual catalyst for the stimulation of creativity, the creation of new knowledge, and the enhancement of quality neurosurgical care worldwide.
-To provide a forum for communication that enriches the lives of all neurosurgeons and their colleagues; and, in so doing, enriches the lives of their patients.
Topics to be addressed in World Neurosurgery include: EDUCATION, ECONOMICS, RESEARCH, POLITICS, HISTORY, CULTURE, CLINICAL SCIENCE, LABORATORY SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES, CLINICAL IMAGES, VIDEOS
