Smoking status and the efficacy of remote ischaemic conditioning: a secondary analysis of the RICAMIS trial by Yu Cui, Hui-Sheng Chen, Xian-Wen Zhang

“…Among current smokers, there was no significant difference in the proportion of mRS 0–1 at 90 days compared with the control group (64.1% vs 62.1%; adjusted OR 1.154, 95% CI 0.791 to 1.684; p=0.46). The interaction analysis revealed no significant association between smoking status and RIC efficacy (P for interaction=0.50).Conclusions In this analysis, RIC significantly improved the excellent functional prognosis of non-smoking stroke patients, but had no significant benefit for current smokers, suggesting that smoking may attenuate RIC efficacy.Trial registeration number NCT03740971.…”
