%X UNASSIGNED: Inflammatory burden index (IBI) is a systemic inflammation indicator that reflects the inflammatory status. We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of IBI after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
UNASSIGNED: We enrolled patients treated with EVT from a multicenter cohort between June 2020 and December 2021. The IBI was calculated as C-reaction protein × neutrophil / lymphocyte count. The primary outcome was the unfavorable functional outcome (90-day modified Rankin scale score 3-6). C-statistics and net reclassification indexes were used to assess the predictive accuracy. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to investigate the association between IBI and unfavorable outcome.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 295 patients (mean age, 64.0 ± 12.8 years; male, 63.7%) were enrolled in this study. In multivariable models, higher IBI levels were associated with an increased risk of 90-day unfavorable outcome after EVT (per 1-SD: odds ratio, 1.754; 95% confidence interval, 1.241-2.587; P = 0.002). Restricted cubic spline curve displayed a linear relationship between the IBI level and 90-day unfavorable outcome (P for nonlinearity = 0.410). Besides, IBI was a more accurate biomarker for predicting unfavorable outcomes with the highest predictive accuracy and reclassification indexes.
UNASSIGNED: This study demonstrated that higher IBI was associated with an increased risk of 90-day unfavorable outcome in acute ischemic stroke treated with EVT.
