Abstract
Aim: Understanding risk factors with elevated diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is significant. Methods: Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine predictors of stroke severity in AIS patients, categorized by their DBP levels >80 mmHg and ≤80 mmHg. Results: AIS patients with DBP >80 mmHg that presents with a history of alcohol use (OR = 2.11, 95% CI: 1.116–3.988, p = 0.022), hypertension (OR = 1.572, 95% CI: 1.01–2.449, p = 0.035), and increasing heart rate (OR = 1.012, 95% CI: 1.012–1.022, p = 0.024) were associated with higher stroke severity Conclusion: Identified factors are independent predictors of higher stroke severity in AIS patients with elevated DBP.
