Abstract
Aim: We aimed to investigate the influence of admission fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) on 3-month outcomes after acute lacunar stroke. Materials & methods: Consecutive patients with acute lacunar stroke were included and classified into two groups according to an optimized FAR cut-off value determined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Results: Compared with those with low FAR (<0.077), patients from the high FAR group (≥0.077) had significantly higher risk for 3-month disability and the composite outcome of death/disability. After logistic regression adjustment, high FAR was still significantly associated with 3-month disability and death/disability. Conclusion: FAR ≥0.077 on admission might be an independent predictor of disability and death/disability at 3 months after lacunar stroke, which needs to be verified in future studies.
