Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation between serum retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) level and stroke severity and short-term outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods From January 2017 to December 2017,patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to the Department of Neurobgy,the Third Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University and who did not receive thrombolytic or endovascular treatment were enrolled retrospectively within 2 weeks of onset.The serum RBP4 levels were measured within 24 h of admission and the demographics and baseline clinical data of the patients were documented.On the day of admission,the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was used to assess the degree of neurological deficit;≤8 was defined as mild stroke and ＞8 was defined as moderate to severe stroke.The modified Rankin scale was used to assess the short-term outcomes at the time of discharge or 14 days after onset;0 to 2 were defined as good outcomes,and ＞ 2 was defined as poor outcome.Results A total of 235 patients were enrolled,including 101 females (43％) and 134 males (57％);aged (66.8 ± 1.7) years (range 28-93 years).There were 200 mild strokes (85.1％) and 35 moderate to severe strokes (14.9％);171 (72.8％) had good outcomes and 64 (27.2％) had poor outcomes.Univariate analysis showed that the serum RBP4 level in the moderate to severe stroke group was significantly lower than that in the mild stroke group (29.28 ± 10.43 mg/L vs.36.88 ± 10.61 mg/L;t =3.920,P ＜ 0.001),and the RBP4 level in the poor outcome group was significantly lower than that in the good outcome group (32.03 ± 11.33 mg/L vs.37.14± 10.44 mg/L;t=3.264,P=0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the high serum RBP4 level was independently correlated with the milder stroke severity (odds ratio 0.917,95％ confidence interval 0.874-0.962;P ＜0.001) and short-term poor outcome (odds ratio 0.955,95％ confidence interval 0.927-0.983;P =0.002).Conclusion In patients with high serum RBP4 levels,acute ischemic stroke is less severe and better in short-term outcomes.
