Oxidised low-density lipoprotein and adverse outcome in patients with acute mild ischaemic stroke or high-risk TIA: a secondary analysis of the INSPIRES randomised clinical trial

Background Research data regarding the correlation between elevated oxidised low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) cholesterol concentrations and unfavourable clinical outcomes in individuals experiencing minor acute ischaemic cerebrovascular events or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) with presumed athero...

description Background Research data regarding the correlation between elevated oxidised low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) cholesterol concentrations and unfavourable clinical outcomes in individuals experiencing minor acute ischaemic cerebrovascular events or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) with presumed atherosclerotic aetiology are still limited.Methods This investigation incorporated a cohort of 5814 participants derived from the Intensive Statin and Antiplatelet Therapy for Acute High-Risk Intracranial or Extracranial Atherosclerosis clinical trial. The core laboratory conducted blinded measurements of baseline plasma oxLDL concentrations. Multivariable Cox regression analyses were employed to assess the correlations between oxLDL levels and adverse clinical events. The principal endpoint for efficacy assessment was defined as the occurrence of stroke within a 90-day follow-up period. Additional secondary endpoints encompassed composite vascular events during the same observation window. The main safety endpoint assessed was the occurrence of bleeding events of moderate to severe intensity.Results The final analytical cohort comprised 5814 patients included in the final analysis. The mean age was 63.7±9.6 years, and 36.0% were female. The average concentration of circulating oxLDL was 36.62 µg/dL. Elevated oxLDL concentrations demonstrated a potential correlation with heightened stroke risk (T3 vs T1: HR 1.39, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.85), ischaemic stroke (T3 vs T1: HR 1.31, 95% CI 0.98 to 1.76) and composite vascular events (T3 vs T1: HR 1.36, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.81) within 90 days. An increased concentration of oxLDL demonstrated a significant association with elevated susceptibility to moderate and severe haemorrhagic events (T3 vs T1: HR 3.61, 95% CI 1.26 to 10.34) within 90 days.Conclusion Increased concentrations of oxLDL demonstrated an independent correlation with both stroke recurrence and the occurrence of moderate-to-severe haemorrhagic events in individuals presenting with acute minor ischaemic stroke or TIA at elevated risk, accompanied by intracranial or extracranial atherosclerotic lesions.
