Low serum magnesium is associated with poor functional outcome in acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack patients.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The association between magnesium and outcomes after stroke is uncertain. We aimed to investigate the association of serum magnesium with all-cause mortality and poor functional outcome.

Methods

We included patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) from the China National Stroke Registry III. We used Cox proportional hazards model for all-cause mortality and logistic regression model for poor functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] 2-6/3-6) to examine the relationships.

Results

Among the 6483 patients, the median (interquartile range) magnesium was 0.87 (0.80-0.93) mmol/L. Patients in the first quartile had a higher risk of mRS score 3-6/2-6 at 3 months (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 1.30; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02,
