Lower Fasting Serum Triglyceride Levels on Admission are Associated with Increased Risks of 30-Day and 1-Year Mortality in Patients with Ischemic Stroke
Abstract:Objective:This study was to assess the 30-day and 1-year mortality associated with serum triglyceride levels on admission for patients with acute ischemic stroke using the Taiwan Stroke registry (TSR) data.
Patients and methods:From the TSR database, we identified 45931 acute ischemic stroke patients from April 2006 to April 2014 and stratified them into 3 groups by the serum triglyceride level measured on admission: <150 mg/dL, 150 mg/dL -199 mg/dL, and ≥ 200 mg/dL. They were prospectively followed to measure… Show more
