Abstract

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The predictive effect of blood cell ratio on ischemic event has been widely confirmed. Whether PWR and PNR can assess the risk of endovascular treatment (EVT) is largely unclear. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of PNR and PWR in acute ischemic stroke patients treated with EVT. METHODS: Poor functional outcome was defined as Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 3-6 at 3 months, Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) was diagnosed based on CT scan and classified according to the criterial of Heidelberg Bleeding Classification. Binary logistical regression was used to analyze the relationship of PWR, PNR with functional outcome and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH). RESULTS: Patients with good prognosis had higher PNR and PWR value (29 vs. 24, P=0.002) (22 vs. 19, P=0.009), a lower rate of sICH (2.9% vs. 24.9%, P<0.001). In model 1, the lower PNR significantly associated with poor functional outcome (OR, 0.48; 95% CI 0.26-0.88; P=0.018), and sICH (OR, 0.42; 95% CI 0.19-0.91; P=0.028). The lower PWR only significantly associated with poor prognosis (OR, 0.97; 95% CI 0.94-1.00; P=0.038), and had a trend relation with sICH (OR, 0.98; 95% CI 0.94-1.02; P=0.328). In model 2 lower PNR still significantly associated with poor functional outcome (OR, 0.53; 95% CI 0.29-0.99; P=0.047), but showed a trend for predicting sICH (OR, 0.56; 95% CI 0.25-1.25; P=0.158). CONCLUSION: Platelet to leukocyte ratio may be use to assess the risk of functional outcome and sICH in patients with acute anterior circulation occlusion stroke undergoing endovascular treatment in real world China.
