Correlation between Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), lipid profile, lesion location and vascular cognitive impairment in acute ischemic stroke patients
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability with significant clinical and socioeconomic impact worldwide. Hyperlipidemia and inflammation play major roles in ischemic stroke. This research focuses on the correlation of three factors, namely Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), lipid profile, and lesion location, with Vascular Cognitive Impairment (VCI). These factors may serve as potential predictors for VCI. Purpose: This research aims to study the correlation between NLR, lipid profile, and lesion location with vascular cognitive impairment. Besides, this research aims to explore those potential biomarkers as predictors of vascular cognitive impairment. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study which included 107 patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke from February 2022 to January 2023 with a history of admission to the hospital within 72 hours. After signed an informed consent form, every patient had history taking, physical exam, lipid profile, routine blood test, Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment Indonesian Version (MoCA-Ina) on the first hospital day. Statistical tests were done with Spearman correlation method. Results: The data distribution was not normal for INR and MoCA-INA values (p<0.05). Total cholesterol was insignificantly (p=0.092) correlated with MoCA-INA score with low correlation value (r=-0.293). HDL was significantly (p=0.035) correlated with MoCA-INA score with moderate correlation value (r=0.461). LDL was significantly (p=0.028) correlated with MoCA-INA score with low correlation value (r=-0.387). Triglycerides was insignificantly (p=0.440) correlated with MoCA-INA score with very weak correlation value (r=-0.137). NLR was significantly (p=0.015) correlated with MoCA-INA score with moderate correlation value (r=-0.412). Conclusions: Lipid profile is correlated with cognitive impairment in post stroke patients, with HDL being a protective factor, and LDL as risk factor. NLR was associated with worse cognitive function and LDL was directly proportional to NLR. Lesion location reporting was highly heterogeneous and more uniformed reporting is recommended for future research.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
