Abstract:

Objective To explore the correlation between serum uric acid (SUA) levels with the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) classification and long-term prognosis in patients with first-onset acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods A total of 199 patients with first-onset AIS who were hospitalized at Zhuhai People's Hospital from October 2020 to October 2021 were enrolled. They were divided into 4 groups based on SUA levels, which consisted of ≤280 μmol/L group (n=50), 280.1-331 μmol/L group (n=50), 331.1-398 μmol/L group (n=50) and >398 μmol/L group (n=49), and the correlation between SUA levels and TOAST classification was analyzed. The modified Rankin scale was used to evaluate the prognosis of patients after 3 months of onset, and the patients were assigned into good prognosis group (modified Rankin scale: 0-2 points, n=157) and poor prognosis group (modified Rankin scale: 3-6 points, n=42). The correlation between SUA levels and the prognosis of the two groups was compared. Results There was no statistically significant difference in TOAST classification among different SUA groups (P>0.05), but there were overall statistically significant differences in gender, proportion of dyslipidemia, and blood homocysteine levels (P<0.05). The ordinal multinomial logistic regression analysis indicated both male (OR=2.984, 95%CI: 1.603-5.553, P=0.001) and dyslipidemia (OR=2.600, 95%CI: 1.442-4.686, P=0.001) were associated with high SUA levels. There was no statistically significant difference in SUA levels between good prognosis group and poor prognosis group (P>0.05), but there was a statistically significant difference in baseline scores of National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Barthel Index (BI)(P<0.01). Binary logistic regression analysis showed a lower baseline score of BI was a risk factor for poor prognosis in the patients (OR=0.905, 95%CI: 0.867-0.944, P=0.000). Conclusion There was no correlation between SUA levels with TOAST classification and prognosis in patients with first-onset AIS, but both male and dyslipidemia were associated with high SUA levels, and a lower baseline score of BI indicated poor prognosis.
