Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between platelet to lymphocyte ratio(PLR)and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)ratio with the degree of carotid artery stenosis,neurological deficits,and prognosis in elderly pa-tients with ischemic stroke and carotid artery stenosis.Methods A total of 186 elderly patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke and carotid artery stenosis admitted in our hospital from June 2021 to June 2024 were enrolled in this study.The PLR and LDL-C/HDL-C ratio were collected,and then with median split,they were divided into high and low PLR groups(both 93 cases),and high and low LDL-C/HDL-C groups(both 93 cases).General clinical data were compared between the two pairs of groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors influencing the severity of carotid artery stenosis,neurological deficits,and prognosis.Kendall's Tau-b correlation analysis was employed to assess the relationship of PLR and LDL-C/HDL-C with the degree of carotid artery stenosis and prognosis.Pearson correlation analysis was conduc-ted to evaluate the association of PLR and LDL-C/HDL-C with neurological deficits.Results Sta-tistically differences were observed in the degree of carotid artery stenosis and prognosis between the high and low PLR groups(P＜0.01).The NIHSS score was significantly higher in the high PLR group(P＜0.01).Similar differences were noted between the high and low LDL-C/HDL-C groups in terms of degree of carotid artery stenosis and prognosis(P＜0.01).The NIHSS score was obviously higher in the high LDL-C/HDL-C group(P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PLR and LDL-C/HDL-C were risk factors for the degree of carotid artery stenosis,neurological deficits and prognosis in elderly patients with carotid artery stenosis after ischemic stroke(OR=3.842,95％CI:2.551-5.328,P=0.000;OR=3.604,95％CI:2.402-5.407,P=0.000;OR=2.956,95％CI:1.955-4.471,P=0.000;OR=3.463,95％CI:2.506-4.785,P=0.000;OR=2.878,95％CI:1.991-4.160,P=0.000;OR=3.785,95％CI:2.483-5.768,P=0.000).Kendall's Tau-b correlation analysis showed that PLR and LDL-C/HDL-C were positively correlated with the degree of carotid artery stenosis and the prognosis in these eld-erly patients(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis indicated that PLR and LDL-C/HDL-C were positively correlated with the NIHSS score in the patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion For the elderly ischemic stroke patients with carotid artery stenosis,PLR and LDL-C/HDL-C are related to the prognosis,and can be used to help assess the severities of carotid artery stenosis and neurological deficits.
