Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the dynamic changes of plasma high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and its correlation with functional outcome and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) after endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with acute large vessel occlusion stroke (ALVOS).Methods:Patients with ALVOS admitted to the Department of Neurology, Zengcheng District, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University from June 2021 to April 2023 were included retrospectively. Plasma HMGB1 before EVT and at 6, 24, and 48 hours after procedure was detected, and the dynamic changes of plasma HMGB1 were compared and analyzed. The primary endpoint was the functional outcome evaluated using the modified Rankin Scale at 90 days of onset. A score of 0-2 was defined as good outcome and >2 was defined as poor outcome. The secondary endpoint was sICH, which was defined as the occurrence of hemorrhagic infarction after EVT and an increase of ≥4 in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score from baseline. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the predictive value of HMGB1 for poor outcome and sICH. Results:A total of 73 patients with ALVOS received EVT were included. There were 54 males (74.0%), aged 62±12 years. The median time from onset to door was 90 minutes (interquartile range, 40-180 minutes), and the median time from onset to femoral artery puncture was 181 minutes (interquartile range, 140-280 minutes). Twenty-nine patients (39.7%) underwent bridging intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). At 90 days after onset, 37 patients (50.7%) had poor outcome, and 12 (16.4%) died during follow-up. Eleven patients (15.1%) developed sICH. After EVT, plasma HMGB1 showed a temporal increase, reaching its peak at 48 hours (median, 102.57 μg/L). Subgroup analysis showed that HMGB1 in the bridging IVT group at 6 hours ( P<0.05) and 24 hours ( P<0.05) after procedure were significantly higher than that at baseline. The non-bridging IVT group showed a significant increase at 6 hours after procedure ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in HMGB1 between the bridging IVT group and the non-bridging IVT group at the same time point. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, ischemic heart disease, triglycerides, uric acid, baseline NIHSS score, and sICH, the third quartile (adjusted odds ratio 7.087, 95% confidence interval 1.243-40.419; P=0.027) and fourth quartile (adjusted odds ratio 7.544, 95% confidence interval 1.260-45.172; P=0.027) of plasma HMGB1 were independent risk factors for poor outcome at 6 hours after procedure. The postoperative plasma HMGB1 in the sICH group was significantly higher than that in the non-sICH group ( P<0.05), but multivariate analysis showed no independent correlation between plasma HMGB1 and sICH. Conclusion:The elevation of plasma HMGB1 in patients with ALVOS at 6 hours after EVT is independently associated with poor outcome at 90 days after onset, but not with sICH.
