Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation between serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level and early functional outcomes in young patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods From January 2017 to December 2018, consecutive young patients (18-45 years old) with acute ischemic stroke admitted to the Department of Neurology, Fuyang People's Hospital were enrolled. According to the modified Rankin Scale score at discharge or on the 14th day of hospitalization (whichever occurs first), the patients were divided into poor outcome group ( > 2) and good outcome group (0-2). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent correlation between the serum ALP level and outcomes. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of baseline serum ALP level for poor outcomes. Results A total of 200 young patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled, and 138 (69. 0％) in the good outcome group and 62 (31. 0％) in the poor outcome group. Univariate analysis showed that the serum ALP level (87. 72 ±25. 60 U/L vs. 81. 70 ±22. 95 U/L; t = -4. 464, P < 0. 001) and baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (median and interquartile range: 9 [8- 12] vs. 2 [1-4]; Z = -10. 540, P < 0. 001) in the poor outcome group were significantly higher than those in the good outcome group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high serum ALP levels (odds ratio 1. 030, 95％ confidence interval 1. 001-1. 060; P = 0. 040) and high baseline NIHSS score (odds ratio 2. 387, 95％ confidence interval 1. 799-3. 142; P < 0. 001) were the independent risk factors for early poor outcomes. ROC curve analysis showed that the optimal cut-off value of the baseline serum ALP level predicting poor outcome was 86. 25 U/L, and its sensitivity and specificity were 53. 2％ and 79. 7％, respectively. Conclusions High serum ALP level is independently associated with poor early outcomes in young patients with acute ischemic stroke. Baseline serum ALP level has certain predictive value for poor outcomes.
