Predictive value of gut metabolites combined with neutrophil to platelet ratio for clinical functional outcome in acute ischemic stroke treated with endovascular therapy (opens in new tab)

PurposeThis study aimed to investigate the associations between gut metabolites Trimethylamine N-Oxide (TMAO), the novel platelet-derived inflammatory ratio index neutrophil-to-platelet ratio (NPR), and the prognosis of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) undergoing endovascular therapy (EVT).MethodsThis study was a retrospective case–control study. Data were collected from 213 AIS patients who underwent EVT at the Stroke Alliance of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University ...
