APOB and Stroke: Univariate analysis using the mRS score at hospital discharge showed that the group with poor stroke outcome were of an older age and had higher TC levels, higher LDL-C levels, higher ApoB levels, and higher NIHSS scores on admission than those with a good stroke outcome (Table 2).On multivariate regression analysis, only older age and higher NIHSS scores on admission were independent risk factors predicting poor neurologic status at discharge (P < .000; Table 3).
