Evaluation of plasma atherogenic index on short-term prognosis of intravascular interventional therapy in patients with acute ischemic stroke

Objective To explore the role of plasma atherosclerotic index (AIP) in evaluating the short-term prognosis of endovascular intervention in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients of different age groups. Methods From January 2020 to December 2022, AIS patients undergoing intravascular interventional therapy in Linyi People's Hospital were selected and divided into low AIP with young and middle-aged group (group A, 50 cases), high AIP with young and middle-aged group (group B, 81 cases), low AIP with elderly group (group C, 131 cases), and high AIP with elderly group (group D, 100 cases) based on age and AIP. Statistical analysis was conducted using AIP as a short-term prognostic factor. Results There were significant differences in age, blood glucose, history of hypertension, systolic blood pressure, admission NHISS score, TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, albumin and AIP among the four groups (P＜0.05). The good prognosis rates of group A, B, C, and D were 62.0%, 40.7%, 42.7%, and 38.0%, respectively, with statistically si
