The Predictive Value of Atherogenic Index of Plasma, Non- High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (Non-HDL-C), Non-HDL-C/HDL-C, and Lipoprotein Combine Index for Stroke Incidence and Prognosis in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients. Clin Interv Aging 2024; 19:1235-1245.

Abstract
Purpose The serum lipid level is strongly associated with atherosclerosis. However, research on the relationship between lipid-derived indices and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) occurrence in hemodialysis populations is limited. This study aimed to explore the predictive value of lipid-derived indices, including atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), Non- high density lipoprotein cholesterol (Non-HDL-C), Non-HDL-C/HDL-C, and lipoprotein combine index (LCI) in clinical practice for the occurrence and prognosis of AIS in hemodialysis patients. Methods A total of 451 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis were screened and 350 were enrolled in this study. The lipid parameters exhibit a progressive increase across the tertiles, with values rising from Q1 through Q3. Enrolled patients were divided into three groups (Q1, Q2, and Q3) based on tertiles of AIP, Non-HDL-C, Non-HDL-C/HDL-C, and LCI values. Kaplan-Meier curves were performed to investigate the association between the AIP, Non-HDL-C, Non-HDL-C/HDL-C, LCI and AIS-free survival in hemodialysis patients. Chi-square analysis was used to explore the association between the AIP, Non-HDL-C, Non-HDL-C/HDL-C, LCI and AIS outcomes in hemodialysis patients. AIS outcomes were assessed using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Results Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the AIS-free survival rates were significantly higher in the Q1 group compared to Q2 and Q3 groups for AIP, Non-HDL-C, Non-HDL-C/HDL-C, and LCI. Log rank tests showed statistically significant differences between the Q1 group and the Q2 and Q3 groups (p < 0.05 for all). The proportion of patients with a good outcome mRS was higher in the Q1 group compared to the Q2-Q3 groups (AIP: 0.818 vs 0.792; Non- HDL-C: 0.866 vs 0.767; Non- HDL-C/HDL-C: 0.867 vs 0.767; LCI: 0.938 vs 0.750). Conclusion The four lipid-derived parameters are effective predictors of AIS in patients undergoing hemodialysis, and AIP has a strongest correlation with the risk of AIS. Hemodialysis patients with elevated levels of the four lipid-derived indices had a higher incidence of AIS and poorer functional outcomes compared to those with lower levels. Our conclusions may require confirmation by further research in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are often excluded from clinical trials of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). This study investigated the outcome in these patients. METHODS From September 2014 to July 2021, all patients undergoing EVT for anterior circulation stroke in two stroke centers in Taiwan were included. They were divided into no renal dysfunction (non-RD, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2), RD (eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 but no dialysis), and ESRD undergoing dialysis (ESRD-dialysis). The clinical features and outcomes were compared. RESULTS Of 482 patients included, there were 20 ESRD-dialysis, 110 RD, and 352 non-RD patients. The Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), use of intravenous thrombolysis, EVT-related time metrics, and successful recanalization rates were comparable among the three groups. However, the ESRD-dialysis patients had more symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH, 15% vs 3.6% vs 3.7%), more contrast-induced encephalopathy (15% vs 1.8% vs 0.9%), and a higher mortality at 90 days (35% vs 18% vs 11%) than the other groups. Multivariable analysis revealed that ESRD-dialysis was associated with a less favorable outcome (OR 0.21, 95% CI 0.04 to 0.77) and more severe disability or mortality (modified Rankin Scale 5 or 6; OR 13.1, 95% CI 3.93 to 48.1) at 90 days. In the ESRD-dialysis group, the patients with premorbid functional dependence had a significantly higher mortality than those without (75% vs 8.3%; P=0.004). CONCLUSION ESRD-dialysis patients were associated with symptomatic ICH and less favorable outcome at 90 days. Patients with premorbid functional dependency had an excessively high mortality.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to explore whether the mean platelet volume/platelet count ratio (MPR) has predictive value for the occurrence and prognosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in hemodialysis patients. Patients and Methods A total of 402 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis were screened and 259 were enrolled in this study. The receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the predictive power of the models. The patients enrolled in this study were divided into three groups based on the tertiles of the MPR value (Q1, Q2, and Q3). Kaplan-Meier curves were used to investigate the association between the MPR and AIS-free survival in hemodialysis patients. Chi-square analysis was performed to explore the association between the MPR and AIS outcomes in hemodialysis patients. And the AIS outcome was assessed using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Results MPR had a predictive value for the occurrence of AIS (AUC=0.814) in hemodialysis patients with a high sensitivity and specificity. AIS-free survival rates in the MPR Q1, MPR Q2, and MPR Q3 groups were 0.930, 0.701, and 0.360, respectively. The proportion of patients with good outcomes (mRS 0-2) was significantly greater among patients in the MPR Q1-Q2 group than in the MPR Q3 group (0.844 vs 0.745, p <0.001). Conclusion The MPR can be used as a good predictor of AIS in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Patients on hemodialysis with increased MPR levels had a higher incidence of AIS and poorer functional outcomes than those with low MPR levels.

J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2022; 9:jcdd9120446. [PMID: 36547443 PMCID: PMC9785222 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd9120446] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2022] [Revised: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a significant and devastating complication in patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis (ESRD/HD). Since one-third of AIS in ESRD/HD patients occurs during or soon after dialysis, patients are more likely to present within the time window when intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) can be performed. IVT may improve prognosis in ESRD/HD patients with AIS. However, ESRD/HD patients have been excluded from large trials and may have been withheld from IVT due to concerns about bleeding complications. To date, there is no clear evidence and firm guidance on the safety and efficacy of IVT in ESRD/HD patients with AIS. This narrative review aimed to evaluate critical scientific data on the benefits and risks of IVT use in patients with ESRD/HD and AIS. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched the electronic database of PubMed for studies evaluating the relationship between AIS, ESRD/HD, and IVT. Reference sections and additional publications were also searched manually. Studies on AIS in patients with ESRD/HD requiring maintenance dialysis that referred to IVT were included. RESULTS In total, 560 studies were found in the PubMed electronic database during the period covered, of which 10 met the selection criteria. IVT for AIS in ESRD/HD patients could improve neurological outcomes and be safely performed even with the possibility of hemorrhagic complications associated with hypertension. Despite the high complication and mortality rates in ESRD/HD patients with AIS after IVT, the association with IVT was unclear. CONCLUSIONS IVT for AIS in ESRD/HD patients may improve outcomes and should not be withheld based solely on ESRD/HD status.

Abstract
CONTEXT Neurourological patients often encounter bacteriuria without any symptoms or may experience symptoms suspicious of urinary tract infections (UTIs). However, there is a lack of guidelines that unequivocally state the definition of UTIs in this specific patient group. OBJECTIVE To present all used definitions of UTIs in neurourological patients. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION This systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement. Studies were identified by electronic search of Medline, Embase, Cochrane controlled trials databases, and clinicaltrial.gov without a time limitation (last search September 2020) and by screening of reference lists and reviews. The occurrences of the various UTI definitions were counted and the frequencies calculated. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS After screening 7164 abstracts, we included 32 studies enrolling a total of 8488 patients with a neurourological disorder who took part in an interventional clinical study. UTI definitions were heterogeneous. The concordance to predefined definitions was low. CONCLUSIONS Interventional clinical studies rarely report specific definitions for UTIs, and both clinical and laboratory criteria used are heterogeneous. A generally accepted UTI definition for neurourological patients is urgently needed. PATIENT SUMMARY Patients suffering from neurological disorders often experience symptoms in their lower urinary tract that resemble urinary tract infections. Furthermore, they can have positive urine cultures without symptoms (the so-called asymptomatic bacteriuria). However, clinical studies rarely report specific definitions for urinary tract infections, and when it is done, they are heterogeneous. A generally accepted urinary tract infection definition for neurourological patients is urgently needed. TAKE HOME MESSAGE: Interventional clinical studies on neurourological patients rarely report specific definitions for urinary tract infections (UTIs), and both clinical and laboratory criteria used are heterogeneous. A generally accepted UTI definition for neurourological patients is urgently needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to determine whether chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with adverse in-hospital outcomes after acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) and whether this association is dependent on thrombolysis administration. METHODS 885,537 records representative of 4,283,086 AIS admissions were extracted from the US National Inpatient Sample (2005-2015) and categorized into 3 mutually exclusive groups: no CKD, CKD without end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and ESRD. Outcomes (mortality, prolonged hospitalisation >4 days and disability on discharge-derived using discharge destination as a proxy) were compared between groups using multivariable logistic regressions. Separate models containing interaction terms with thrombolysis were also computed. RESULTS The median age (interquartile range) of the cohort was 73 (61-83) years and 47.32% were men. Compared with the no CKD group, both CKD/no ESRD group (odds ratio (99% confidence interval) = 1.04 (1.0003-1.09), p = 0.009) and the ESRD groups (2.06 (1.90-2.25), p < 0.001) had significantly increased odds of in-hospital mortality. Patients with CKD/No ESRD (1.03 (1.02-1.06), p < 0.001) and ESRD (1.44 (1.37-1.51), p < 0.001) were at higher odds of prolonged hospitalisation. Patients with CKD/No ESRD (1.13 (1.10-1.15), p < 0.001) and ESRD (1.34 (1.26-1.41), p < 0.001) were also at higher odds of moderate-to-severe disability on discharge. Interaction terms between thrombolysis and the CKD/ESRD groups were not statistically significant (p > 0.01) for any outcome. CONCLUSIONS Renal dysfunction was independently associated with worse in-hospital outcomes in the acute phase of AIS. These associations were not influenced by the use of thrombolysis as an emergency treatment for AIS. CKD/ESRD should not represent sole contraindications to thrombolysis for AIS.

Abstract
The global health burden of chronic kidney disease is rapidly rising, and chronic kidney disease is an important risk factor for cerebrovascular disease. Proposed underlying mechanisms for this relationship include shared traditional risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes, uremia-related nontraditional risk factors, such as oxidative stress and abnormal calcium-phosphorus metabolism, and dialysis-specific factors such as cerebral hypoperfusion and changes in cardiac structure. Chronic kidney disease frequently complicates routine stroke risk prediction, diagnosis, management, and prevention. It is also associated with worse stroke severity, outcomes and a high burden of silent cerebrovascular disease, and vascular cognitive impairment. Here, we present a summary of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of cerebrovascular disease in chronic kidney disease from the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes Controversies Conference on central and peripheral arterial disease with a focus on knowledge gaps, areas of controversy, and priorities for research.

Abstract
With both an aging population and greater post-stroke survival, multimorbidity is a growing healthcare challenge, affecting over 40% of stroke patients, and rising rapidly and predictably with increasing age. Commonly defined as the co-occurrence of two or more chronic conditions, multimorbidity burden is a strong adverse prognostic factor, associated with greater short- and long-term stroke mortality, worse rehabilitation outcomes, and reduced use of secondary prevention. Chronic kidney disease can be considered as the archetypal comorbidity, being age-dependent and also affecting about 40% of stroke patients. Chronic kidney disease and stroke share very similar traditional cardiovascular risk factor profiles such as hypertension and diabetes, though novel chronic kidney disease-specific risk factors such as inflammation and oxidative stress have also been proposed. Using chronic kidney disease as an exemplar condition, we explore the mechanisms of risk in multimorbidity, implications for management, impact on stroke severity, and downstream consequences such as post-stroke cognitive impairment and dementia.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to explore the inhibition effect and possible mechanism of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) on rat intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) secondary neuronal apoptosis.
Materials and Methods High-, medium-, and low-dose LBP (50, 100, and 200 mg•kg) and nimodipine (10 mg•kg) groups were given once daily by 15-day gavage before operation, while the sham operation and ICH groups were given the equal volume of saline. An ICH model was established by autologous blood injection and the neurological function in each group was scored at 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 hours after modeling. Furthermore, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling analysis was performed to detect neuronal apoptosis, while western blot, immunohistochemistry, and real-time-polymerase chain reaction were used to study the influence of LBP on ICH secondary neuronal apoptosis.
Results The neurological function score was significantly decreased after ICH, and the intervention effect of a single drug was not evident. The apoptotic nerve cells increased significantly in the ICH group but decreased considerably in the LBP groups. Furthermore, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) expression decreased significantly, while B-cell lymphoma 2 expression increased substantially in the high- and medium-dose LBP groups compared with ICH group, suggesting that LBP could reduce the effect of ICH. However, the impact of LBP did not correlate positively with the dose.
Conclusion The application of LBP may not significantly improve neurological function after ICH, but it can inhibit rat ICH secondary neuronal apoptosis.

Abstract
Thrombolytic therapy is an effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke and provides benefits and improvements that lead to better neurological outcomes. However, thrombolytic therapy with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA) in hemodialysis (HD) patients is limited because HD patients have a higher risk of bleeding. We report a case of a 75-year-old HD patient who presented with sudden aphasia during HD treatment. She was brought to the hospital for treatment for infarction. Following thrombolytic therapy, we achieved re-opening without complications. To our knowledge, no report has been published describing the patients who had a stroke during a maintenance HD session and were treated with r-tPA successfully. Although the number of HD patients treated with r-tPA is small and requires further investigation, thrombolytic therapy can be an alternative option. After weighing the risks and benefits and assessing each patient carefully, the use of r-tPA should be considered, even in HD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of contemporary data on the characteristics and outcomes of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in patients on maintenance dialysis. METHODS AND RESULTS We used the nationwide inpatient sample to examine contemporary trends in the incidence, management patterns, and outcomes of AIS in dialysis patients. A total of 930 010 patients were admitted with AIS between 2003 and 2014, of whom 13 642 (1.5%) were on dialysis. Overall, the incidence of AIS among dialysis patients decreased significantly (Ptrend<0.001), while it remained stable in non-dialysis patients (Ptrend=0.78). Compared with non-dialysis patients, those on dialysis were younger (67±13 years versus 71±15 years, P<0.001), and had higher prevalence of major comorbidities. Black patients constituted 35.2% of dialysis patients admitted with AIS compared with 16.7% of patients in the non-dialysis group (P<0.001). After propensity score matching, in-hospital mortality was higher in the dialysis group (7.6% versus 5.2%, P<0.001), but this mortality gap narrowed overtime (Ptrend<0.001). Hemorrhagic conversion and gastrointestinal bleeding rates were similar, but blood transfusion was more common in the dialysis group. Rates of severe disability surrogates (tracheostomy, gastrostomy, mechanical ventilation and non-home discharge) were also similar in both groups. However, dialysis patients had longer hospitalizations, and accrued a 25% higher total cost of acute care. CONCLUSIONS Dialysis patients have 8-folds higher incidence of AIS compared withnon-dialysis patients. They also have higher risk-adjusted in-hospital mortality, sepsis and blood transfusion, longer hospitalizations, and higher cost. There is a need to identify preventative strategies to reduce the risk of AIS in the dialysis population.

Abstract
Cerebrovascular disease and stroke are very common at all stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD), likely representing both shared risk factors as well as synergy among risk factors. More subtle ischemic brain lesions may be particularly common in the CKD population, with subtle manifestations including cognitive impairment. For individuals with nondialysis CKD, the prevention, approach to, diagnosis, and management of stroke is similar to the general, non-CKD population. For individuals with end-stage renal disease, far less is known regarding strategies to prevent stroke. Stroke prophylaxis using warfarin in dialysis patients with atrial fibrillation in particular remains of uncertain benefit. End-stage renal disease patients can be managed aggressively in the setting of acute stroke. Outcomes after stroke at all stages of CKD are poor, and improving these outcomes should be the subject of future clinical trials.

Abstract
Cardiovascular mortality has remained high in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) due to the high prevalence of various cardiovascular complications including coronary artery disease, left ventricular hypertrophy and dysfunction, heart failure, arrhythmia (especially atrial fibrillation), cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral arterial disease. In addition, nearly a quarter of PD patients develop sudden cardiac death as the terminal life event. Thus, it is essential to identify effective treatment that may lower cardiovascular mortality and improve survival of PD patients. The International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) commissioned a global workgroup in 2012 to formulate a series of recommendation statements regarding lifestyle modification, assessment and management of various cardiovascular risk factors, and management of the various cardiovascular complications to be published in 2 guideline documents. This publication forms the second part of the guideline documents and includes recommendation statements on the management of various cardiovascular complications in adult chronic PD patients. The documents are intended to serve as a global clinical practice guideline for clinicians who look after PD patients. We also define areas where evidence is clearly deficient and make suggestions for future research in each specific area.

Abstract
Purpose—
To critically review and evaluate the science behind individual eligibility criteria (indication/inclusion and contraindications/exclusion criteria) for intravenous recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (alteplase) treatment in acute ischemic stroke. This will allow us to better inform stroke providers of quantitative and qualitative risks associated with alteplase administration under selected commonly and uncommonly encountered clinical circumstances and to identify future research priorities concerning these eligibility criteria, which could potentially expand the safe and judicious use of alteplase and improve outcomes after stroke.
Methods—
Writing group members were nominated by the committee chair on the basis of their previous work in relevant topic areas and were approved by the American Heart Association Stroke Council’s Scientific Statement Oversight Committee and the American Heart Association’s Manuscript Oversight Committee. The writers used systematic literature reviews, references to published clinical and epidemiology studies, morbidity and mortality reports, clinical and public health guidelines, authoritative statements, personal files, and expert opinion to summarize existing evidence and to indicate gaps in current knowledge and, when appropriate, formulated recommendations using standard American Heart Association criteria. All members of the writing group had the opportunity to comment on and approved the final version of this document. The document underwent extensive American Heart Association internal peer review, Stroke Council Leadership review, and Scientific Statements Oversight Committee review before consideration and approval by the American Heart Association Science Advisory and Coordinating Committee.
Results—
After a review of the current literature, it was clearly evident that the levels of evidence supporting individual exclusion criteria for intravenous alteplase vary widely. Several exclusionary criteria have already undergone extensive scientific study such as the clear benefit of alteplase treatment in elderly stroke patients, those with severe stroke, those with diabetes mellitus and hyperglycemia, and those with minor early ischemic changes evident on computed tomography. Some exclusions such as recent intracranial surgery are likely based on common sense and sound judgment and are unlikely to ever be subjected to a randomized, clinical trial to evaluate safety. Most other contraindications or warnings range somewhere in between. However, the differential impact of each exclusion criterion varies not only with the evidence base behind it but also with the frequency of the exclusion within the stroke population, the probability of coexistence of multiple exclusion factors in a single patient, and the variation in practice among treating clinicians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Occurrence of acute renal failure (ARF) is more common in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) compared with those with other stroke subtypes. We sought to determine the frequency and effect of ARF on in-hospital outcomes of patients with ICH. METHODS We analyzed data from all patients admitted to the United States' hospitals between 2005 and 2011 with the primary discharge diagnosis of ICH and secondary diagnosis of ARF. The associations of ARF with mortality and discharge outcomes in ICH patients were analyzed after adjusting for potential confounders using logistic regression analyses. RESULTS Of the 614,454 patients admitted with ICH, 41,694 (6.8%) had ARF. In-hospital dialysis was required in 700 (1.7%) patients. ICH patients with ARF had higher rates of moderate-to-severe disability (49.5% versus 44.2%; P < .0001) and in-hospital mortality (28.7% versus 22.4%; P < .0001) compared with those without ARF. After adjusting for age, gender, and potential confounders defined as statistically significant variables on univariate analysis, ICH patients with ARF had higher odds of moderate-to-severe disability (odds ratio [OR] 1.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-1.3; P < .0001) and death (OR, 1.5; 95% CI, 1.4-1.6; P < .0001). The rates of moderate-to-severe disability and death were 37.5% and 50.2% among those who required dialysis, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In patients with ICH, ARF is associated with significantly higher rates of in-hospital mortality and moderate-to-severe disability at the time of discharge.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The effect of acute kidney injury (AKI) on outcomes of transient ischemic attack (TIA) is largely unknown. We wanted to determine the impact of AKI on the outcomes of patients admitted with TIA. METHODS Data from all adult patients admitted to the U.S. hospitals between 2005 and 2011 with a primary discharge diagnosis of TIA and secondary diagnosis of AKI were included, using the nationwide in-patient dataset. The association of AKI with TIA-related mortality and discharge outcomes was analyzed after adjusting for potential confounders using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Of the 1,173,340 patients admitted with TIA, 45,974 (3.8%) had AKI. Dialysis was required in 29 (0.06%) patients. TIA patients with AKI had higher rates of moderate-to-severe disability (21.2 vs. 13.7%, p ≤ 0.0001), and in-hospital mortality (0.6 vs. 0.1%, p ≤ 0.0001) compared with those without AKI. After adjusting for age, sex, and potential confounders; TIA patients with AKI had higher odds of moderate-to-severe disability [OR 1.3, 95% CI 1.2-1.4, p < 0.0001] and death (OR 4.2, 95% CI 3.0-6.1, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS AKI in patients with TIA is associated with significantly higher rates of moderate-to-severe disability at discharge and in-hospital mortality compared with those without AKI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To compare the outcomes of IV thrombolytics (tissue plasminogen activator or tPA) with endovascular treatment (intra-arterial tPA ± mechanical thrombectomy) in dialysis patients who suffered from acute ischemic stroke. STUDY DESIGN Observational study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Data analysis from Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS 2005- 2010) including dialysis patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke, either treated with IV thrombolytics or endovascular treatment. OUTCOMES Baseline characteristics, in-hospital complications, and discharge outcomes were compared between the two groups. We determined the effect of endovascular treatment on in-hospital mortality, disability at discharge, and post-thrombolytic intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) after adjusting for potential confounders using multivariate analysis. RESULTS Of the 2 313 dialysis patients with ischemic stroke, 1 398 (60%) received IV thrombolytics and 915 (40%) were treated with endovascular treatment. The in-hospital mortality rate and moderate-to-severe disability were lower in dialysis patients receiving endovascular treatment (7.6% vs. 14.5% p = 0.04) and (30% vs. 52% p = <.0001), respectively. After adjusting for age, gender, and potential confounders, endovascular treatment was associated with lower in-hospital mortality (OR 0.5, 95% CI 0.2-0.9) and moderate-to-severe disability (OR 0.3, 95% CI 0.2-0.5). CONCLUSIONS The odds of both in-hospital mortality and moderate to severe disability were lower with endovascular treatment in dialysis patients. Such data support the preferential use of endovascular treatment in this patient population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Acute renal failure (ARF) in setting of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is associated with worse outcome. We sought to determine the prevalence of ARF and effect on outcomes of patients with AIS. METHODS Data from all patients admitted to US hospitals between 2002 and 2010 with a primary discharge diagnosis of ischemic stroke and secondary diagnosis of ARF were included. The effect of ARF on rates of intracerebral hemorrhage and discharge outcomes was analyzed after adjusting for potential confounders using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Of 7,068,334 patients with AIS, 372,223 (5.3%) had ARF during hospitalization. Dialysis was required in 2364 (0.6%) of 372,223 patients. Patients with AIS with ARF had higher rates of moderate to severe disability (41.3% versus 30%; P<0.0001), intracerebral hemorrhage (1.0% versus 0.5%; P<0.0001), and in-hospital mortality (8.4% versus 2.9%; P<0.0001) compared with those without ARF. After adjusting for confounding factors, patients with AIS with ARF had higher odds of moderate to severe disability (odds ratio, 1.3; 95% confidence interval, 1.3-1.4; P<0.0001), intracerebral hemorrhage (odds ratio, 1.4; 95% confidence interval, 1.3-1.6; P<0.0001), and death (odds ratio, 2.2; 95% confidence interval, 2.0-2.2; P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS ARF in patients with AIS is associated with significantly higher rates of moderate to severe disability at discharge and in-hospital mortality.
