Abstract:Objective To explore the predictive values of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV) on neurological outcomes after ultra-early intravenous thrombolytic therapy in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods A total of 103 patients with acute cerebral infarction treated in Chuzhou First People's Hospital from September 2020 to April 2022 were selected. After admission, NLR, PLR and MPV were detected. The patients were treated with intravenous thrombolysis via urokinase or alteplase. After one week of treatment, they were divided into the outcome group and the injury group according to the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score. The risk factors affecting the neurological outcomes after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute cerebral infarction were analyzed. The predictive efficacy of NLR, PLR and MPV on the neurological outcomes after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute cerebral infarction was determined via the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.Results After one week of treatment, the NIHSS score was no more than 6 in 81 cases (78.64%), and was more than 6 in 22 cases (21.36%). The age, NLR, PLR, MPV and the proportion of patients with hypertension in the injury group were higher than those in the outcome group (P < 0.05). Multivariable Logistic analysis showed that advanced age [O^R = 3.494 (95% CI: 1.194, 10.222) ], hypertension [O^R = 3.155 (95% CI: 1.078, 9.231) ], and elevated NLR [O^R = 4.076 (95% CI: 1.393, 11.924) ], PLR [O^R = 3.971 (95% CI: 1.357, 11.618) ] and MPV [O^R = 3.655 (95% CI: 1.249, 10.692) ] were risk factors for neurological impairment in patients with acute cerebral infarction (P < 0.05). The ROC curve analysis revealed that the sensitivities of NLR, PLR and MPV alone and their combination for predicting the neurological outcomes after thrombolysis were 84.09%, 75.00%, 79.55%, and 81.82%, with the specificities being 61.73%, 70.37%, 71.75%, and 76.54%, and areas under the ROC curves being 0.742, 0.749, 0.737 and 0.819, respectively.Conclusions NLR, PLR and MPV can be employed to well predict the outcome of neurological function after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute cerebral infarction.
