Key Highlights

  • Study included 655 AIS patients with a mean age of 66.84 years.
  • Poor outcome defined as mRS score of 3–6; good outcome as mRS ≤ 2.
  • Vitamin D, E, A, K1, B12, folate, and homocysteine identified as independent predictors of poor outcomes.
  • Nomogram showed good discrimination with AUC of 0.878 in training set and 0.880 in test set.
  • Internal validation performed with 1,000 bootstrap resamples.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

  • Acute ischemic stroke diagnosed via clinical presentation and imaging (CT/MRI).

Management

  • Utilize vitamin-related biomarkers for early risk stratification.

Monitoring & Follow-up

  • Monitor 3-month functional outcomes using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).

Risks

  • Consider comorbidities and factors affecting vitamin absorption/metabolism.

Patient & Prescribing Data

Patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted within 24 hours of symptom onset.

Vitamin-related biomarkers may assist in predicting functional outcomes.
