Lipid on stroke in intracranial artery atherosclerotic stenosis: a mediation role of glucose.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Expanding on previous investigations, this study aims to elucidate the role of lipid metabolism disorders in the development of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) and the determination of stroke risk. The primary objective is to explore the connections between lipid parameters and acute ischemic stroke (AIS), while also examining the potential mediating influence of fasting glucose levels.

Methods

Retrospectively, we collected data from symptomatic ICAS patients at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, including their baseline information such as medical histories and admission blood biochemical parameters. Stenotic conditions were evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography angiography, or digital subtraction angiograph
