Résumé
Gastrointestinal bleeding is a clinically important complication in acute ischemic stroke patients after dual antiplatelet therapy. The present study was to explore the association between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and in-hospital gastrointestinal bleeding in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients who had received dual antiplatelet therapy. This restrospective study enrolled AIS patients who had received dual antiplatelet therapy in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2021. Patients were divided into a bleeding group and a non-bleeding group according to whether they had in-hospital gastrointestinal bleeding. Propensity score matching was used to match the confounding variables between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to evaluate the association between NLR and in-hospital gastrointestinal bleeding. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to test the prediction ability of NLR. A total of 1130 patients were enrolled in this study. Before matching, there were 51 patients in the bleeding group, 1079 patients in the non-bleeding group. After matching, 49 pairs of patients were successfully matched. Multivariate regression revealed that NLR was an independent predictor of in-hospital gastrointestinal bleeding in AIS patients who had received dual antiplatelet therapy. The area under curve (AUC) of NLR in predicting in-hospital gastrointestinal bleeding was 0.908, the sensitivity and specificity were 0.878 and 0.857 respectively. NLR at admission is a useful predictor of in-hospital gastrointestinal bleeding in acute ischemic stroke patients after dual antiplatelet therapy. Still, more prospective studies with larger sample size are needed to validate the result.

BACKGROUND
Gastrointestinal bleeding is a clinically important complication in acute ischemic stroke patients after dual antiplatelet therapy. The present study was to explore the association between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and in-hospital gastrointestinal bleeding in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients who had received dual antiplatelet therapy.
METHODS
METHODS
This restrospective study enrolled AIS patients who had received dual antiplatelet therapy in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2021. Patients were divided into a bleeding group and a non-bleeding group according to whether they had in-hospital gastrointestinal bleeding. Propensity score matching was used to match the confounding variables between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to evaluate the association between NLR and in-hospital gastrointestinal bleeding.

NLR at admission is a useful predictor of in-hospital gastrointestinal bleeding in acute ischemic stroke patients after dual antiplatelet therapy. Still, more prospective studies with larger sample size are needed to validate the result.
