Objective:

To evaluate the predictive efficiency of the Cardiometabolic Index (CMI) for long-term adverse cerebrovascular events in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) who underwent thrombolytic therapy.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • CMI showed superior predictive performance for long-term adverse cerebrovascular events compared to conventional biomarkers.
    • A high CMI value (≥0.80) was independently correlated with an increased risk of MACEs.
    • Systemic inflammation partially mediated the predictive effect of CMI on adverse clinical outcomes.
    Interpretation:

    CMI is a reliable prognostic biomarker that reflects metabolic and inflammatory status, enhancing risk stratification and treatment strategies for AIS patients post-thrombolysis.

    Limitations:
    • The study is retrospective and conducted at a single center.
    • Further large-sample cohort studies are necessary to confirm the findings.
    Conclusion:

    CMI provides better predictive capability for adverse cerebrovascular events in AIS patients after thrombolytic therapy, warranting further investigation for clinical applicability.
