Prognostic performance of serum YKL-40 for one-year clinical outcomes in acute ischemic stroke
Figure 4. Subgroup analyses of the association between baseline YKL-40 and poor outcome as well as all-cause mortality. Interactions between baseline YKL-40 and interesting factors on one-year clinical outcomes were tested by the likelihood ratio test with adjustment for age, gender, history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, smoking, drinking alcohol, baseline NIHSS, intravenous thrombolysis, and SAP other than variable was used as a subgroup. Abbreviations: OR, odd ratio; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; NIHSS, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale; SAP, stroke-associated pneumonia.
