Description
Pengyu Gong and co-authors test a combined blood index as a warning sign after stroke treatment. The index joins an inflammation marker with a glucose-triglyceride measure of insulin resistance. The team asked whether it predicts recovery in older patients whose blocked brain artery was treated with clot-dissolving drugs through a vein.
They enrolled 708 patients at three centers and checked function three months later. About a third had an unfavorable outcome, meaning real disability or death. Higher index values tracked that outcome independently of other factors: the top quarter of patients carried over two and a half times the risk of the bottom quarter. The link rose steadily, with no bend in the curve, and held across subgroups. The authors conclude the index can flag elderly patients who need closer watching and stronger aftercare.
