Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of hypokalemia in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Methods: A cohort of 996 patients was assessed using a general data questionnaire, laboratory indicators, the NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS), the Barthel Index (BI), the Frail scale, Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS-2002), and the Kubota drinking water test.

Results: Among the 996 patients, 205 (20.6%) were found to have hypokalemia. Logistic regression analysis identified several independent predictors of hypokalemia: age (OR 1.020, 95% CI 1.001-1.039, P=0.041), hypertension (OR 2.691, 95% CI 1.190-6.089, P=0.017), Frail score (OR 1.756, 95% CI 1.034-2.981, P=0.037), Kubota drinking water test grade 3 (OR 2.124, 95% CI 1.055-4.276, P=0.035), Kubota drinking water test grade 4 (OR 3.016, 95% CI 1.113-8.174, P=0.037), NIHSS score (OR 1.135, 95% CI 1.018-1.264, P=0.022), platelet count (OR 0.997, 95% CI 0.994-0.999, P=0.021), and urea nitrogen levels (OR 0.833, 95% CI 0.750-0.926, P=0.001).

Conclusion: The prevalence of hypokalemia is high in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Independent risk factors included age, hypertension, frailty, neurological function, swallowing function, platelet count and blood urea level.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of General Medicine is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on general and internal medicine, pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment protocols. The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of reviews, original research and clinical studies across all disease areas. A key focus of the journal is the elucidation of disease processes and management protocols resulting in improved outcomes for the patient. Patient perspectives such as satisfaction, quality of life, health literacy and communication and their role in developing new healthcare programs and optimizing clinical outcomes are major areas of interest for the journal. As of 1st April 2019, the International Journal of General Medicine will no longer consider meta-analyses for publication.
