The Association Between Aspartate Transaminase to Alanine Transaminase Ratio and Perioperative Ischemic Stroke in Patients With Diabetes: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with diabetes are at a high risk for perioperative ischemic stroke (PIS). The use of biomarkers to identify high-risk patients and predict PIS may provide considerable reference value in clinical decision-making. The aspartate transaminase/alanine transaminase ratio (De Ritis ratio) has been proven to be associated with specific diabetic complications. However, the association between the De Ritis ratio and PIS has not been evaluated in this population. This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the association between the preoperative De Ritis ratio and PIS in patients with type 2 diabetes undergoing noncardiovascular surgery.

Methods

Data from surgical patients were collected from January 2008 to August 2019. A total of 27,643 patients with type
