Resistin and In-Hospital Mortality in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Prospective Study.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Understanding the prognostic factors of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is essential for improving patient outcomes. The aim of this study was to establish the predictive role of plasmatic resistin and leptin on short-term mortality in adult patients with a first episode of AIS. Methods: This study enrolled 277 patients who were consecutively hospitalized for AIS. Demographic data, cardiovascular risk, comorbidities, and laboratory tests were collected. Death was noted if it occurred during hospitalization. Results: Death was recorded in 33 (11.9%) patients. Conducting multivariate analysis, the following variables were independent variables associated with in-hospital mortality: a resistin value of >11 ng/mL (OR 10.81 (95%CI 2.31;50.57), p =
