AbstractHemorrhagic transformation (HT) is one of the most dangerous complications after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Therefore, we want to explore the predictive effects of peripheral blood S100β and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels on hemorrhagic transformation after intravenous thrombolysis in AIS patients. Ninety-two AIS patients who had been treated in Huai'an Second People's Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively selected. Patients were divided into hemorrhagic transformation (HT) groups (24 cases) and no HT groups (68 cases) based on whether there was hemorrhagic transformation within 24 h after intravenous thrombolysis. General clinical data from the HT group and no HT group were compared. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the potential risk factors of HT after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with AIS. A receiver operating curve (ROC) was used to analyze the predictive value of risk factors for HT. High serum S100β, CRP levels, and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores were found to be risk factors for HT after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with AIS (all P < .05). The ROC curve analysis showed that critical value of S100β, CRP level, and NIHSS score for predicting intravenous thrombolytic HT in AIS patients were 0.335, 8.700, and 14.50, respectively, and their sensitivities were 0.750, 0.971, and 0.333 ( P < .05), respectively. High serum S100β and CRP levels are risk factors for HT after intravenous thrombolysis in AIS patients and have predictive influence of the occurrence of HT in AIS patients.Copyright © 2023 the Author(s).
