Abstract

Glucose and platelet are two easily obtained clinical indicators; the present research aimed to demonstrate their association with hemorrhagic transformation (HT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients without thrombolytic or thrombectomy therapy. This was a single-center retrospective study. Patients who were diagnosed with HT after AIS were included in the HT group. Meanwhile, using the propensity score matching (PSM) approach, with a ratio of 1:2, matched patients without HT were included in the non-HT group. Serum G/P levels were measured on the first morning after admission (at least eight hours after the last meal). Characteristics were compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the independent relationship between G/P and HT after AIS, with G/P being divided into quartiles. From January 2013 to March 2022, we consecutively included 643 AIS patients with HT (426/643 [66.25%] with HI and 217/643 [33.75%] with PH), and 1282 AIS patients without HT, at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. The HT group had higher G/P levels than the non-HT group (0.04 ± 0.02 vs. 0.03 ± 0.02, p < 0.001). However, there was no difference in G/P levels between HI and PH subgroups (0.04 ± 0.02 vs. 0.04 ± 0.02, p > 0.05). Moreover, the G/P levels were divided into quartiles (Q1 ≤ 0.022; Q2 = 0.023−0.028; Q3 = 0.029−0.039; Q4 ≥ 0.040), with Q1 being settled as the reference layer. After controlling the confounders, multivariate regression analyses showed that the Q4 layer (Q4: G/P ≥ 0.040) was independently associated with elevated HT risk (odds ratio [OR] = 1.85, 95% CI = 1.31−2.63, p < 0.001). G/P levels on admission were independently associated with HT risk in AIS patients. In clinical practice, adequate attention should be paid to AIS patients with elevated G/P levels (G/P ≥ 0.040).
