Fibrinogen-to-Albumin Ratio and Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Large Artery Atherosclerosis Stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A high fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR), a novel inflammatory marker, is considered to be a prognostic marker in vascular diseases. However, the association of FAR with large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) stroke is still unknown. This study was conducted to evaluate the association between FAR levels and clinical outcomes in patients with acute LAA stroke.

Methods and results

A total of 809 patients within 72 hours of LAA stroke were included and followed up to 1 year. FAR was calculated as fibrinogen (g/L)/albumin (g/L). The associations of FAR with clinical outcomes were assessed by multivariate Cox regression or logistic regression analysis. Clinical outcomes included stroke recurrence, all-cause death, poor functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score 3-6),
