Little is known about the effect of soluble adhesion molecules on malignant brain edema (MBE) after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). This study aimed to explore the association between serum concentrations of E-selectin and the risk of MBE in patients who received EVT. Patients with a large vessel occlusion stroke in the anterior circulation who underwent EVT were prospectively recruited. Serum soluble E-selectin concentrations were measured after admission for all patients. MBE was defined as a midline shift of ≥5 mm on follow-up imaging within 72 h after surgery. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the association between E-selectin levels and the risk of MBE. Among the 261 included patients (mean age, 69.7 ± 12.3 years; 166 males), 59 (22.6%) developed MBE. Increasing circulating E-selectin levels were associated with an increased risk of MBE after multivariable adjustment (odds ratios [OR], highest vs. lowest quartile: 3.593; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.178-10.956; = 0.025). We further observed a significantly positive association between E-selectin and MBE (per 1-standard deviation increase; OR, 1.988; 95% CI, 1.379-2.866, = 0.001) when the E-selectin levels were analyzed as a continuous variable. Furthermore, the restricted cubic spline demonstrated a linear correlation between serum E-selectin levels and the risk of MBE ( < 0.001 for linearity). : In this prospective study, circulating levels of E-selectin were associated with an increased risk of MBE after EVT. Further mechanistic studies are warranted to elucidate the pathophysiology underlying this association.
关于可溶性黏附分子对血管内血栓切除术(EVT)后恶性脑水肿(MBE)的影响,目前所知甚少。本研究旨在探讨接受EVT的患者血清E-选择素浓度与MBE风险之间的关联。前瞻性招募了前循环大血管闭塞性卒中且接受EVT的患者。对所有患者入院后测量血清可溶性E-选择素浓度。MBE定义为术后72小时内随访影像上中线移位≥5mm。进行多因素逻辑回归分析以确定E-选择素水平与MBE风险之间的关联。在纳入的261例患者中(平均年龄69.7±12.3岁;男性166例),59例(22.6%)发生了MBE。多变量调整后,循环E-选择素水平升高与MBE风险增加相关(比值比[OR],最高四分位数与最低四分位数:3.593;95%置信区间[CI],1.178 - 10.956;P = 0.025)。当将E-选择素水平作为连续变量分析时,我们进一步观察到E-选择素与MBE之间存在显著正相关(每增加1个标准差;OR,1.988;95%CI,1.379 - 2.866,P = 0.001)。此外,受限立方样条显示血清E-选择素水平与MBE风险之间存在线性相关性(线性检验P < 0.001)。结论:在这项前瞻性研究中,EVT后循环E-选择素水平与MBE风险增加相关。有必要进行进一步的机制研究以阐明这种关联背后的病理生理学。
