Objective: In order to provide a more accurate and effective basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment, patients with cognitive dysfunction after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) were evaluated and their influencing factors were analyzed.
Methods: A rigorous and systematic logistic regression analysis was conducted to comprehensively investigate the various influencing factors that contribute to cognitive dysfunction.
Results: Among them, the sex granulocyte/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level, and C-reactive protein (CRP) were also higher than those in the control group (p < 0.05). The scores of memory, orientation, visual and spatial function, abstract thinking and language in the control group were higher than those in the experimental group (p < 0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that history of diabetes mellitus, high NLR, high LDL-C, high CRP, smoking and temporal lobe infarction were risk factors for cognitive dysfunction after AIS, while elevated BMI and love of exercise were protective factors for cognitive dysfunction after AIS.
Conclusion: Patients with cognitive dysfunction had the highest incidence of temporal lobe infarction, and they scored lower than the control group on memory, orientation, visual and spatial function, abstract thinking, and language function. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a history of diabetes mellitus, high NLR, high LDL-C, high CRP, smoking, and temporal lobe infarction were independent risk factors for cognitive dysfunction after acute ischemic stroke, while elevated BMI and a love of exercise were protective factors for cognitive dysfunction after acute ischemic stroke.
