High glycemic albumin representing prestroke glycemic variability is associated with hemorrhagic transformation in patients receiving intravenous thrombolysis.

ABSTRACT: We evaluated the impact of prestroke glycemic variability estimated by glycated albumin (GA) on symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation (SHT) in patients with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). Using a multicenter database, we consecutively enrolled acute ischemic stroke patients receiving IVT. A total of 378 patients were included in this study. Higher GA was defined as GA ≥ 16.0%. The primary outcome measure was SHT. Multivariate regression analysis and a receiver operating characteristic curve were used to assess risks and predictive ability for SHT. Among the 378 patients who were enrolled in this study, 27 patients (7.1%) had SHT as defined by the Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke-Monitoring Study (SHT_SITS). The rate of SHT_SITS was higher in the higher GA group than in the lower GA group (18.0% vs. 1.6%, p < 0.001). A higher GA level (GA ≥ 16.0%) significantly increased the risk of SHT_SITS (adjusted odds ratio [OR], [95% confidence interval, CI], 12.57 [3.08-41.54]) in the logistic regression analysis. The predictive ability of the GA level for SHT_SITS was good (AUC [95% CI]: 0.83 [0.77-0.90], p < 0.001), and the cutoff value of GA in SHT was 16.3%. GA was a reliable predictor of SHT after IVT in acute ischemic stroke in this study.

Project description:BackgroundHemorrhagic transformation (HT) is the most serious complication of ischemic stroke patients after intravenous thrombolysis and leads to a poor clinical prognosis. This study aimed to determine the independent predictors associated with HT in stroke patients with intravenous thrombolysis and to establish and validate a nomogram that combines with predictors to predict the probability of HT after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with ischemic stroke.MethodThis study enrolled ischemic stroke patients with intravenous thrombolysis from December 2016 to June 2022. All the patients were divided into training and validation cohorts. The nomogram was composed of the significant predictors for HT in the training cohort as obtained by the multivariate logistic regression analysis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to assess the discriminative performance of the nomogram. The calibration performance of the nomogram was assessed by the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test and calibration plots. Decision curve analysis was used to test the clinical validity of the nomogram.ResultsA total of 394 patients with intravenous thrombolysis were enrolled in the study. In the training cohort (n = 257), 45 patients had HT after intravenous thrombolysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated early infarct signs (OR, 7.954; 95% CI, 3.553-17.803; P < 0.001), NIHSS scores (OR, 1.110; 95% CI, 1.054-1.168; P < 0.001), uric acid (OR, 0.993; 95% CI, 0.989-0.997; P = 0.001), and albumin-to-globulin ratio (OR, 0.109; 95% CI, 0.023-0.508; P = 0.005) were independent predictors for HT and constructed the nomogram. In the training and validation cohorts, the AUC of the nomogram was 0.859 and 0.839, respectively. The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test and calibration plot showed good concordance between predicted and observed probability in the training and validation cohorts. Decision curve analysis indicated that the nomogram was significantly useful for predicting HT in the training and further confirmed in the validation cohort.ConclusionThis study proposes a novel and practical nomogram based on early infarct signs, NIHSS scores, uric acid, and albumin-to-globulin ratio that can well predict the probability of HT after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with ischemic stroke.

Project description:Background: Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is an important complication of intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase. HT can show a wide range from petechiae to parenchymal hematoma with mass effect with varying clinical impact. We studied clinical and imaging characteristics of patients with HT and evaluated whether different types of HT are associated with functional outcome. Methods: We performed a post-hoc analysis of WAKE-UP, a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of MRI-guided intravenous alteplase in unknown onset stroke. HT was assessed on follow-up MRI or CT and diagnosed as hemorrhagic infarction type 1 and type 2 (HI1 and HI2, combined as HI), and parenchymal hemorrhage type 1 and type 2 (PH1 and PH2, combined as PH). Severity of stroke symptoms was assessed using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at baseline. Stroke lesion volume was measured on baseline diffusion weighted imaging (DWI). Primary endpoint was a favorable outcome defined as a modified Rankin Scale score 0-1 at 90 days. Results: Of 483 patients included in the analysis, 95 (19.7%) showed HI and 21 (4.4%) had PH. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified treatment with alteplase (OR, 2.08 [95% CI, 1.28-3.40]), baseline NIHSS score (OR, 1.11 [95% CI, 1.05-1.17]), DWI lesion volume (OR, 1.03 [95% CI, 1.01-1.05]), baseline glucose levels (OR, 1.01 [95% CI, 1.00-1.01]) and atrial fibrillation (OR, 3.02 [95% CI, 1.57-5.80]) as predictors of any HT. The same parameters predicted HI. Predictors of PH were baseline NIHSS score (OR, 1.11 [95% CI, 1.01-1.22]) and as a trend treatment with alteplase (OR, 2.40 [95% CI, 0.93-6.96]). PH was associated with lower odds of favorable outcome (OR 0.25, 95% [CI 0.05-0.86]), while HI was not. Conclusion: Our results indicate that HI is associated with stroke severity, cardiovascular risk factors and thrombolysis. PH is a rare complication, more frequent in severe stroke and with thrombolysis. In contrast to HI, PH is associated with worse functional outcome. The impact of HT after MRI-guided intravenous alteplase for unknown onset stroke on clinical outcome is similar as in the trials of stroke thrombolysis within a known early time-window.
