Association between the hemoglobin-to-red cell distribution width ratio and three-month unfavorable outcome in older acute ischemic stroke patients: a prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a prevalent acute condition among older individuals. This study is the first investigation of the link between the HRR and unfavorable three-month outcome in older AIS patients.

Methods

This secondary research used data from a sample of 1,470 older AIS patients collected from a South Korean hospital between January 2010 and December 2016. Multiple imputation was applied to account for absent values. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between the baseline HRR and adverse outcome at three-month. Restricted cubic spline analysis was employed to evaluate the correlation between HRR levels and adverse outcome. Interaction tests were performed to discern variations among subgroups.
