PG - e14235 LID - 10.7717/peerj.14235 [doi] LID - e14235 AB - OBJECTIVE: In this study, serum markers of acute ischemic stroke (AICS) with carotid artery plaque were retrospectively evaluated to establish a basis for discovering serological indicators for early warning of acute ischemic stroke (AICS). METHODS: A total of 248 patients with AICS were enrolled in Lanzhou University Second Hospital from January 2019 to December 2020. The study population included 136 males and 112 females, 64 +/- 11 years of age. Of these, there were 90 patients with a transient ischemic attack (TIA), including 60 males and 30 females, aged 64 +/- 8 years old. Patients with AICS were stratified by carotid ultrasound into a plaque group (n = 154) and a non-plaque group (n = 94). A total of 160 healthy subjects were selected as the control group. Serum lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), amyloid A (SAA), immunoglobulin E (IgE), D-dimer (D-D), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were collected from all subjects. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of AICS with carotid plaque. ROC curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of AICS with carotid plaque. RESULTS: The IgE, Lp-PLA2, SAA, LDL-C, TC, TG, and D-D levels in the AICS group were higher than those in the TIA group and healthy control group (P < 0.05). The IgE level was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group and TIA group. The IgE level in the AICS plaque group was significantly higher than that in the AICS non-plaque group (P < 0.01), and the Lp-PLA2 level was also different (P < 0.05). The incidence of AICS was positively correlated with Lp-PLA2, TC, IgE, TG, D-D, SAA and LDL-C (r = 0.611, 0.499, 0.478, 0.431, 0.386, 0.332, 0.280, all P < 0.05). The incidence of AICS with plaque was only positively correlated with IgE and Lp-PLA2 (r = 0.588, 0.246, P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that IgE and Lp-PLA2 were independent risk factors for predicting the occurrence of AICS with carotid plaque (P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of IgE (0.849) was significantly higher than other indicators; its sensitivity and specificity were also the highest, indicating that IgE can improve the diagnostic efficiency of AICS with carotid plaque. CONCLUSION: IgE is a serum laboratory indicator used to diagnose AICS disease with carotid plaque, which lays a foundation for further research on potential early warning indicators of AICS disease.
