Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the correlation between blood lipid variability and recurrence of cerebrovascular events in patients with ischemic stroke.Methods:Patients with ischemic stroke admitted to Qingdao Municipal Hospital from June 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022 were prospectively enrolled and followed up for 30 months. The standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV) of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were calculated during follow-up, and the attainment rate of blood lipid before and after follow-up were compared. The recurrence of cerebrovascular events was monitored, including ischemic stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, and transient ischemic attack. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the correlation between the variability of TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, and TG and the recurrence of cerebrovascular events.Results:A total of 142 patients with ischemic stroke were enrolled, including 81 males (57.0%), aged 63.4±5.8 years. During follow-up, 34 patients (23.9%) experienced recurrent cerebrovascular events. At the end of the follow-up, TC, TG, and LDL-C levels decreased significantly compared to before the follow-up (all P<0.05), and the attainment rate of blood lipid increased significantly compared to before the follow-up (51.4% vs. 12.7%; P=0.001). CV of LDL-C in the recurrent group was significantly higher than that in the non-recurrent group ( P=0.005). Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, gender, body mass index, baseline blood lipids, and baseline blood pressure, LDL-C variability (SD: hazard risk [ HR] 4.051, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 2.671-5.687, P=0.034; CV: HR 3.785, 95% CI 2.356-5.013, P=0.041) and TC variability (SD: HR 3.821, 95% CI 2.450-5.224, P=0.039; CV: HR 3.715, 95% CI 2.401-5.036, P=0.042) during follow-up were independently associated with the recurrence of cerebral vascular events. Conclusions:LDL-C and TC variability are the independent influencing factors for the recurrence of cerebrovascular events in patients with ischemic stroke. Monitoring the variability of LDL-C and TC in patients with ischemic stroke and intervening in a timely manner may reduce the risk of recurrence of cerebrovascular events.
