Abstract P212: Comparison Of Vascular Risk Factors And Serum Fatty Acids At Admission Between Intracerebral Hemorrhage And Acute Ischemic Stroke

Abstract

Introduction: Dietary triglycerides influence fatty acid (FA) serum concentrations and weight percentages (wt%), which may be associated with the onset of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) or acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Hypothesis: There are significant differences between FAs at the admission of ICH and AIS. Methods: We included patients admitted between 2016 and 2019 within 24 h of ICH or AIS onset and calculated correlation coefficients between their ages, serum FA concentrations, and FA wt% values. We evaluated differences in age, average blood pressure (ABP), glucose, A1c, serum lipids, and FAs between two groups. Excluding variables with multicollinearity, we performed multiple logistic regression (MLR) analysis to identify independent variables distinguishing ICH from AIS. We estimated the threshold values of independent variables using the area under the curve values derived from the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: Our inclusion criteria were met by 141 of ICH patients and 525 of AIS patients. In the ICH group, age, A1c, and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) levels were smaller than those in the AIS group. ABP, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), myristic acid (MyA), linoleic acid (LiA) concentrations, and MyA wt% were higher than those in the AIS group. MLR analysis between two groups indicated that age, ABP, A1c, HDL-C were independent variables. Serum FA levels were not independent. ROC curves showed that the threshold values of age, ABP, A1c, and HDL-C for ICH onset were ≤ 69 years, ≥ 126.6 mmHg, ≤ 6.0%, and ≥ 1.62 mmol/L, respectively. In 27 patients with age ≤ 69 , ABP ≥ 126.6, A1c ≤ 6.0%, and HDL-C ≥ 1.62 and 87 patients with age > 69 , ABP< 126.6, A1c > 6.0, and HDL-C < 1.62, there were 19 (70.4%) and 9 (10.3%) patients with ICH, the MyA concentrations were 108 and 73 μmol/L (p < 0.001), the LiA concentration were 2,900 and 2,410μmol/L (p < 0.001), and the EPA wt% were 1.4 and 2.0% (p=0.059), respectively. Conclusions: Younger patients with higher ABP, lower A1c, and higher HDL-C suffered from not AIS but ICH, and their MyA and LiA concentrations were higher than older patients without them.
