Higher serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and phosphate levels are associated with atherosclerotic disease and an increased risk of cardiovascular events. However, the association of ALP/phosphate with cerebral atherosclerosis and prognosis in patients with acute stroke is not well known.
In 1034 patients with first-ever acute cerebral infarction, levels of ALP and phosphate were compared with (1) cerebral atherosclerosis and (2) poor long-term functional outcomes as defined by the modified Rankin Scale>2 at 3 months after stroke onset.
ALP levels were not associated with cerebral atherosclerosis. However, higher levels of ALP were associated with a poor functional outcome (adjusted odds ratio per 1 SD, 1.25; 95% confidence interval, 1.04-1.50). Phosphate was associated with neither cerebral atherosclerosis nor functional outcome.
A higher level of ALP was not associated with cerebral atherosclerosis but was an independent prognostic factor for long-term functional outcome after acute cerebral infarction.
血清碱性磷酸酶(ALP)和磷酸盐水平升高与动脉粥样硬化疾病和心血管事件风险增加有关。然而,ALP/磷酸盐与急性脑卒中患者的脑动脉粥样硬化和预后的关系尚不清楚。
在 1034 例首次发生急性脑梗死的患者中,比较了 ALP 和磷酸盐水平与(1)脑动脉粥样硬化和(2)卒中发病后 3 个月改良 Rankin 量表评分>2 定义的不良长期功能结局之间的关系。
ALP 水平与脑动脉粥样硬化无关。然而,较高的 ALP 水平与不良的功能结局相关(调整后的优势比每 1 SD,1.25;95%置信区间,1.04-1.50)。磷酸盐与脑动脉粥样硬化或功能结局均无关。
较高的 ALP 水平与脑动脉粥样硬化无关,但与急性脑梗死患者的长期功能结局是独立的预后因素。
