Abstract
Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease are at increased risk of stroke and frequently have cerebral microbleeds. Whether such patients also encounter an increased risk of recurrent stroke has not been firmly established. We aimed to determine whether impaired kidney function is associated with the risk of recurrent stroke, and microbleed presence, distribution and severity.
Methods: We used pooled data from the Microbleeds International Collaborate Network to investigate associations of impaired kidney function, defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Our primary outcome was a composite of recurrent ischaemic stroke (IS) and intracranial haemorrhage (ICrH). Secondary outcomes included: (1) individual components of the primary outcome; (2) modification of the primary outcome by microbleed presence or anticoagulant use and (3) microbleed presence, distribution and severity.
Results: 11 175 patients (mean age 70.7±12.6, 42% female) were included, of which 2815 (25.2%) had impaired kidney function. Compared with eGFR ≥60, eGFR <60 was associated with a higher risk of the primary outcome (adjusted HR, aHR 1.33 (95% CI 1.14 to 1.56), p<0.001) and higher rates of the recurrent IS (aHR 1.33 (95% CI 1.12 to 1.58)). Reduced eGFR was not associated with ICrH risk (aHR 1.07 (95% CI 0.70 to 1.60)). eGFR was also associated with microbleed presence (adjusted OR, aOR 1.14 (95% CI 1.03 to 1.26)) and severity (aOR 1.17 (95% CI 1.06 to 1.29)). Compared with having no microbleeds, eGFR was lower in those with strictly lobar microbleeds (adjusted mean difference (aMD) -2.10 mL/min/1.73 cm2 (95% CI -3.39 to -0.81)) and mixed microbleeds (aMD -2.42 (95% CI -3.70 to -1.15)), but not strictly deep microbleeds (aMD -0.67 (95% CI -1.85 to 0.51)).
Conclusions: In patients with IS or transient ischaemic attack, impaired kidney function was associated with a higher risk of recurrent stroke and higher microbleeds burden, compared with those with normal kidney function. Further research is needed to investigate potential additional measures for secondary prevention in this high-risk group.
背景:慢性肾脏疾病患者卒中风险增加,且经常发生脑微出血。这类患者是否也会增加中风复发的风险,目前还没有明确的结论。我们的目的是确定肾功能受损是否与卒中复发风险、微出血的存在、分布和严重程度有关。方法:我们使用来自micro出血国际合作网络的汇总数据来研究肾功能受损的相关性,定义为肾小球滤过率(eGFR) 2。我们的主要结局是复发性缺血性卒中(IS)和颅内出血(ICrH)的综合结果。次要结局包括:(1)主要结局的各个组成部分;(2)微出血的存在或抗凝剂的使用改变了主要结局;(3)微出血的存在、分布和严重程度。结果:共纳入11 175例患者(平均年龄70.7±12.6岁,女性占42%),其中肾功能受损2815例(25.2%)。与eGFR≥60相比,eGFR 2 (95% CI -3.39至-0.81)和混合性微出血(aMD -2.42 (95% CI -3.70至-1.15)),但不是严格意义上的深度微出血(aMD -0.67 (95% CI -1.85至0.51))。结论:与肾功能正常的患者相比,在IS或短暂性缺血发作患者中,肾功能受损与卒中复发风险和微出血负担增加相关。需要进一步的研究来调查在这一高危人群中潜在的其他二级预防措施。
