Predictive value of ABCD2 combined with serum Pannexin1 and miR-20b in ischemic stroke in patients with dizzi-ness
Objective:To investigate the predictive value of ABCD2 combined with serum pannexin1 and microRNA(miRNA)-20b in the occurrence of ischemic stroke(IS)in patients with dizziness.Methods:A total of 148 patients with dizziness were selected,and divided into IS group(n=109)and non-IS group(n=39)based on whether IS occurred.General data,age,blood pressure,duration of unilateral limb weakness and speech disorder,diabetes(ABCD2)score and serum pannexin and miR-20b levels were compared between the two groups.Multifactorial Logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore independent risk factors for IS in patients with dizziness.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to determine the predictive value of ABCD2 combined with serum pannexin1 and miR-20b in the occurrence of IS in patients with dizziness.Results:The age,hypertension history ratio,ABCD2,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),and pannexin1 levels in the IS group were significantly higher,and the miR-20b level was significantly lower than those in the non-IS group(P<0.05).The elevated LDL-C(OR=2.575,95%CI:1.497-3.353),ABCD2>3 points(OR=3.069,95%CI:2.242-5.408),elevated pannexin1(OR=1.089,95%CI:1.018-1.187)were independent factors of IS in dizziness patients,and elevated miR-20b(OR=0.351,95%CI:0.220-0.559)was an independent protec-tive factor(P<0.05).The area under the ROC cure(AUC)of combined three indexes in predicting the occurrence of IS in patients with dizziness(AUC=0.859,95%CI:0.791-0.926)was significantly greater than that of the ABCD2 score(AUC=0.759,95%CI:0.669-0.849),pannexin1 score(AUC=0.656,95%CI:0.554-0.759)and miR-20b(AUC=0.821,95%CI:0.750-0.893)used alone(P<0.05).Conclusion ABCD2,Pannesin1,and miR-20b are independent factors influencing the occurrence of IS in dizziness patients.ABCD2 combined with serum pannexin1 and miR-20b are more valua-ble than a single index for IS risk assessment in dizziness patients.
