Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1, Inflammatory Biomarkers, and Prognosis of Patients With Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack: Fndings From a Nationwide Registry Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent Mendelian randomization and meta-analysis highlight the relevance of MCP-1 (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1) in stroke. We aimed to investigate the associations between MCP-1 and clinical outcomes in patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack and test whether inflammation mediates or jointly contributes to the relationships.

Methods and results

A total of 10 700 patients from the Third China National Stroke Registry study were included. Multivariable Cox regression was used for recurrent stroke and all-cause death, and logistic regression was used for poor functional outcome. Mediation analyses were performed to clarify whether inflammation mediates the associations. After adjusting for potential confounders, low MCP-1 level (<337.6 pg/mL
