Blood urea nitrogen (BUN)/creatinine (Cr) ratio was an independent predictor of stroke-in-evolution (SIE) among patients who had suffered an acute ischemic stroke. We investigated the association of changes in BUN/Cr on stroke outcome during hospitalization after acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
AIS patients admitted within 3 days from stroke onset (2020-2021) were included in the study. Baseline data, including BUN and Cr levels, were collected. Univariate linear regression and a multivariate regression model were applied to assess the relationship between the change of BUN/Cr and short-term outcomes.
One hundred and eighty-one patients were included. The mean increase of BUN/Cr level was - 2.0 ± 1.78. Univariate linear regression suggested that baseline NIHSS, thrombolysis, change of BUN/Cr, and history of atrial fibrillation, statin use, and antiplatelet therapy was associated with the decrease in NIHSS during hospitalization (P < 0.05). After adjusting for potential confounders, multivariate regression analysis revealed the associations between the decrease in BUN/Cr and favorable outcome are significant (β = 0.21, 95% CI = 0.14,-0.28).
The decrease in BUN/Cr is positively correlated with a better early neurological improvement in AIS patients.
在急性缺血性卒中患者中,血尿素氮(BUN)/肌酐(Cr)比值是进展性卒中(SIE)的独立预测因素。我们研究了急性缺血性卒中(AIS)后住院期间BUN/Cr变化与卒中结局的相关性。
纳入卒中发病3天内入院的AIS患者(2020 - 2021年)。收集包括BUN和Cr水平在内的基线数据。应用单变量线性回归和多变量回归模型评估BUN/Cr变化与短期结局之间的关系。
共纳入181例患者。BUN/Cr水平的平均升高为-2.0±1.78。单变量线性回归表明,基线美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表(NIHSS)评分、溶栓治疗、BUN/Cr变化以及房颤病史、他汀类药物使用和抗血小板治疗与住院期间NIHSS评分降低相关(P<0.05)。在调整潜在混杂因素后,多变量回归分析显示BUN/Cr降低与良好结局之间的关联具有显著性(β = 0.21,95%置信区间 = 0.14,-0.28)。
AIS患者BUN/Cr降低与早期神经功能改善较好呈正相关。
