AbstractBackground: Previous studies have indicated a significant correlation between cholesterol levels and the incidence and outcomes of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), However, the association between non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDLC) levels and ICH functional outcomes are still unclear. Method: We included 654 consecutive spontaneous ICH patients who were enrolled in a prospective registry. We collected clinical, demographic, and laboratory data using standardized forms, and non-HDLC levels and 3-month modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores were recorded. We performed multivariate logistic regression and interaction analyses to explored the association between non-HDLC levels and ICH functional outcomes. Results: Of 654 patients included in the study, 281 (42.9%) had poor functional outcome. Univariate analysis showed that high non-HDLC level was associated with good functional outcome at 90 days (p = 0.001). After adjustment for confounding factors, a high non-HDLC level (≥154.89 mg/dl) remained as an indicator of good functional outcome at 90 days [multivariate-adjusted odds ratios (OR) 0.50, 95%CI 0.27-0.92; p-value for trend = 0.043], and was stronger for female patients (OR: 0.13, 95%CI: 0.03-0.50). Conclusion: ICH patients with higher non-HDLC levels had a decreased prevalence of poor functional outcome at 90 days, and a high non-HDLC level is an independent indicator of good functional outcome at 90 days from onset, especially in females.Copyright © 2020 Feng, Wang, Wang and Zhao.
