Background: Previous studies have shown that uric acid (UA) is a powerful water-soluble antioxidant and free radical scavenger for humans. However, the relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) and hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is still controversial. To address this challenge, we aimed to explore the association between serum UA and HT in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted in patients with anterior circulation AIS who underwent IVT at Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from 2016 to 2021. HT was evaluated by CT or MRI within 7 days after admission. Baseline demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were compared between the HT and non-HT groups, and between different types of HT groups which were documented according to the European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study III Classification (ECASS III). Results: A total of 727 AIS patients were enrolled, including 112 patients who experienced HT (HT group) and 615 patients who did not experience HT (non-HT group). Patients with HT had significantly lower UA levels compared to those without HT (253.65 ± 97.75 vs 315.97 ± 96.42, p < 0.001); however, there was no significant difference for UA levels in different types of HT (p = 0.907). After adjusting confounders, patients in the fourth UA quartile showed a significant decrease in HT compared with those in the first quartile (OR 0.266, 95% CI 0.107–0.661, p = 0.006). The best cutoff value was identified as 218.5 μmol/L after analysis. Conclusions: These findings suggest that low levels of UA may be associated with HT after IVT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
