High Neutrophil-to-Platelet Ratio Is Associated With Hemorrhagic Transformation in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke.

ABSTRACT: Background: Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a complication that may cause neurological deterioration in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Both neutrophil and platelet have been associated with the stroke progression. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between neutrophil-to-platelet ratio (NPR) and HT after acute ischemic stroke. Methods: A total of 279 stroke patients with HT were consecutively recruited. HT was diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) and classified into hemorrhagic infarction (HI) and parenchymal hematoma (PH). Blood samples for neutrophil and platelet counts were obtained at admission. Meanwhile, 270 age- and gender-matched controls without HT were included for comparison. Results: Among the patients with HT, 131 patients had PH and 148 patients had HI. NPR was higher in patients with PH than those with HI or non-HT [36.8 (23.7-49.2) vs. 26.6 (17.9-38.3) vs. 19.1 (14.8-24.8), P < 0.001]. After adjustment for potential confounders, high NPR remained independently associated with the increased risk of HT (OR = 2.000, 95% CI: 1.041-3.843, P = 0.037). NPR (>39.9) was independently associated with PH (OR = 2.641, 95% CI: 1.308-5.342, P = 0.007). Conclusions: High NPR was associated with the increased risk of HT especially PH in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Project description:Background and Aims: Systemic inflammation is associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment and dementia, but the associations between them in stroke patients are less clear. We examined the impact of systemic inflammation represented as the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on the development of post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) and domain-specific cognitive outcomes 3-month after ischemic stroke. Methods: Using prospective stroke registry data, we consecutively enrolled 345 participants with ischemic stroke whose cognitive functions were evaluated 3-month after stroke. Their cognition was assessed with the Korean version of the Vascular Cognitive Impairment Harmonization Standards and the Korean-Mini Mental Status Examination. PSCI was defined as a z-score of < -2 standard deviations for age, sex, and education adjusted means in at least one cognitive domain. The participants were categorized into five groups according to the quintiles of NLR (lowest NLR, Q1). The cross-sectional association between NLR and PSCI was assessed using multiple logistic regression, adjusting for age, sex, education, vascular risk factors, and stroke type. Results: A total of 345 patients were enrolled. The mean age was 63.0 years and the median NIHSS score and NLR were 2 [1-4] and 2.26 [1.65-2.91], respectively. PSCI was identified in 71 (20.6%) patients. NLR was a significant predictor for PSCI both as a continuous variable (adjusted OR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.00-1.31) and as a categorical variable (Q5, adjusted OR, 3.26; 95% CI, 1.17-9.08). Patients in the Q5 group (NLR ≥ 3.80) showed significantly worse performance in global cognition and in visuospatial and memory domains. Conclusions: NLR in the acute stage of ischemic stroke was independently associated with PSCI at 3 months after stroke, and high NLR was specifically associated with cognitive dysfunction in the memory and visuospatial domains. Thus, systemic inflammation may be a modifiable risk factor that may influence cognitive outcomes after stroke.
