Correlation and predictive value of platelet biological indicators and recurrence of large-artery atherosclerosis type of ischemic stroke.

ABSTRACT

Large-artery atherosclerosis type of ischemic stroke happens when a blood clot forms in a major artery that carries blood to the brain. This causes a blockage and a decrease in blood flow to the brain tissue making up approximately 15-20% of all cases. This type of stroke is more prevalent in older adults and those with risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, and a family history of stroke. To investigate the correlation and predictive value of platelet-related biological indicators with recurrence of large-artery atherosclerosis type of ischemic stroke (LAA-IS)2. The patients were divided into a relapse group (R, n = 40) and non-relapse group (NR, n = 45). Platelet-related biological indicators were collected from both groups to analyze their correlation with neurological impairment score (NIHSS score). Risk factors were analyzed using binary logistic regression and a survival curve (ROC) was drawn to evaluate the predictive effect of clinical platelet-related biological indicators on LAA-IS recurrence. This study confirmed that PAg-ADP, PAg-COL, and FIB are closely related to the formation of LAA-IS due to carotid atherosclerosis, and the combined PAg-ADP, PAg-COL, and FIB index levels are the most promising for assessing the prognostic development of recurrence in patients with LAA-IS. Combined monitoring of platelet aggregation rate and FIB index is of important evaluation value in judging the recurrence prognosis of LAA-IS patients.
