The difference in red blood cell distribution width from before to after thrombolysis as a prognostic factor in acute ischemic stroke patients: A 2-year follow-up.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of our study was to determine whether delta red blood cell distribution (ΔRDW) improves neurological outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients 2 years after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) therapy.

Methods

AIS patients who received IVT between January 2013 and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. In accordance with their mRS scores, the patients were divided into two groups. A binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the influencing factors of adverse functional outcomes. It was decided to evaluate the variables' the predictive ability by using the area under the receiver operating characteristic. For the poor neurological recovery risk model, features were selected using the LASSO regression model. We also developed a pred
