METS-IR as an important predictor of neurological impairment severity in patients with severe cerebral infarction: a multicenter study based on the Chinese population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Insulin resistance (IR) is linked to an increased risk of neurological impairment following a stroke and may contribute to poor neurological prognosis in affected patients. The metabolic score for the insulin resistance index, shortened as the METS-IR, generally serves as a surrogate index for IR. However, its association with the severity of neurological impairment in patients with severe cerebral infarction (CI) in neurological intensive care units (ICU) has not been fully established.

Methods

Patients with a diagnosis of CI, admitted to the neurological ICUs of Yangzhou University's Affiliated Hospital and Xuzhou Medical University's Affiliated Hospital, were included in the study. A multivariate logistic regression model and restricted cubic splines (RCS) were
