Prognostic significance of plasma SDF-1 in acute ischemic stroke patients with diabetes mellitus: the CATIS trial

Cardiovasc DiabetolPublished Secondary analysis of the CATIS randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

Elevated plasma SDF-1 was significantly associated with an increased risk of recurrent stroke and cardiovascular events only in ischemic patients with diabetes mellitus.

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality by plasma SDF-1 level
Higher plasma SDF-1 levels were not associated with recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality
all P trend ≥ 0.05

Risk prediction

Adding SDF-1 to conventional risk factors model significantly improved risk prediction of all outcomes
