Investigating the Relationship between Lipid Profiles of Stroke Patients at the Time of Admission and Their Outcome

Abstract

Hyperlipidemia is one of the critical risk factors for cerebrovascular disease. Many studies have emphasized that controlling the lipid level can decrease the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. In this article, we studied all types of lipids in stroke patients and wanted to consider any relation between lipid level in admission and outcome. This retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted at Imam Reza Research and Training Hospital. It was performed on a sample of 2165 patients who visited the emergency department and were admitted with a diagnosis of acute stroke (ischemic, hemorrhagic, subarachnoid hemorrhage) from 20<sup>th</sup> 2020 up to 20<sup>th</sup> 2023. Patients with underlying neoplastic disease, trauma, or coagulation disorders, who visited the emergency department with non-stroke signs and symptoms, and also who had incomplete documents were excluded from the study. The data of this study was extracted from the Tabriz stroke registry. In this study, 2165 patients were included. There is a significant relationship between age and other variables with most outcomes, but it does not show a strong relationship. There is a substantial relationship between the modified Rankin Scale and other variables with most outcomes, but it does not show a strong relationship. Between the follow-up modified Rankin Scale and other variables, there is a significant relationship with most of the outcomes, but it does not show a strong relationship. With most outcomes, there is a substantial relationship between the outcome and other variables, but it does not show a strong relationship. The initial lipid profile of patients at the time of entering the emergency department did not show a significant relationship with the outcome and length of the patient’s hospitalization of none of ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. None of the candidate patients had received thrombolytic therapy.
