Serum tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 and risk of cognitive impairment after acute ischaemic stroke.

ABSTRACT: The expression of tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) significantly increased after acute cerebral ischaemia and involved in neurodegeneration. The purpose was to prospectively investigate the relationship between serum TIMP-1 with post-stroke cognitive impairment. Our participants were from an ancillary study of China Antihypertensive Trial in Acute Ischemic Stroke. 598 ischaemic stroke patients from seven participating hospitals were included. Cognitive impairment was evaluated using Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) at 3 months. 316 (52.84%) or 384 (64.21%) participants had cognitive impairment according to MMSE or MoCA, respectively. Compared with the first quartile of TIMP-1, the multivariate-adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence in
