Association between fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio and functional prognosis of 3 months in patients with acute ischemic stroke after intravenous thrombolysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The presence of high fibrinogen and low albumin levels in serum is associated with a negative prognosis in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR), a new inflammatory biomarker, may provide better prognostic insights in patients with AIS than separate evaluation of fibrinogen or albumin. The objective of this investigation is to examine the correlation between FAR and 3-month functional prognosis after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in AIS patients.

Methods

The retrospective study recruited AIS patients who received IVT from June 2014 to December 2021. The 3-month functional prognosis was assessed using the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS). A mRS score of ≤2 indicated a good outcome, whereas a mRS score of >2 suggested a poor outcome.
