BackgroundPrevious researches have suggested that soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (sTREM2) plays a pivotal role in central nervous system pathologies and the development of neurodegenerative disorders. This study aimed to prospectively investigate the association between plasma sTREM2 levels and post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI).MethodsA sample of 599 consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients with sTREM2 measurements from the China Antihypertensive Trial in Acute Ischemic Stroke were eventually included in this analysis. Cognitive impairment was defined as a score of <25 for Mini-Mental State Examination, measured at 3-month follow up. Binary logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) of plasma sTREM2 levels on the risk of PSCI.ResultsOf the 599 participants (mean age, 60.0 ± 10.4 years; male, 70.5%), 228 (38.1%) patients were diagnosed as PSCI. The risk of PSCI elevated significantly with higher plasma sTREM2 levels (pfor trend <0.01). After adjusting for several confounding factors, the ORs for the highest quartile of sTREM2 compared with the lowest quartile was 2.06 (95% confidence interval, 1.20–3.53) for PSCI. Moreover, the addition of sTREM2 to the conventional model with established risk factors significantly improved risk discrimination (C-statistics increased from 0.668 to 0.691,p= 0.02) and reclassification (net reclassification improvement: 32.2%,p< 0.001; integrated discrimination improvement: 1.3%,p= 0.01) for PSCI.LimitationsResults might be subject to selective bias and potential confounding.ConclusionsThe present study demonstrated that elevated level of plasma sTREM2 may be associated with PSCI, and sTREM2 has potential value in predicting PSCI.
