Key result
An increased apoB/AI ratio was an independent risk factor for intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis in both stroke patients (OR 2.80) and non-stroke controls (OR 3.38).
Why the study?

An increased apoB/AI ratio is an independent risk factor for intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis, suggesting its potential utility in risk stratification.
value for trend=0.006) groups. In summary, increased apoB/AI ratio was a valuable independent risk factor for ICAS in stroke patients as well as in non-stroke controls.

Sun et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (n=2,210). Increased apolipoprotein B/apolipoprotein AI (apoB/AI) ratio vs. Lower apoB/AI ratio was evaluated on Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) in stroke patients (OR 2.80, 95% CI 1.45-5.42, p=0.002). An increased apoB/AI ratio was an independent risk factor for intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis in both stroke patients (OR 2.80) and non-stroke controls (OR 3.38).
