Liver function parameters aspartate aminotransferase and total protein predict functional outcome in stroke patients with non-cardioembolism.

ABSTRACT: Stroke, classified as cardioembolism and non-cardioembolism (non-CE), entails a large socioeconomic burden on the elderly. The morbidity and mortality of non-CE are high, whereas studies concerning prognostic factors impacting function outcome remain underdeveloped and understudied. Liver function parameters are convenient approaches to predicting prognosis in cardiovascular diseases, but their clinical significance has not been well characterized in stroke, especially in non-CE. In our study, a total of 576 patients with non-CE at 1 year of follow-up were enrolled in a cohort from a consecutive hospital-based stroke registry, with randomly 387 patients as the development cohort and 189 patients as the validation cohort. The univariate and multivariate analyses revealed the following novel
