    The study assessed the association of cardiometabolic index (CMI) and modified cardiometabolic index (MCMI) with early neurological decline (END) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients.

  • 2

    Out of 563 AIS patients, 123 experienced END, with significantly higher CMI and MCMI levels compared to those without END.

  • 3

    Multivariate logistic regression confirmed that elevated CMI and MCMI are independent risk factors for END in AIS patients.

  • 4

    Nonlinear relationships between CMI, MCMI, and END were identified, with areas under the curves of 0.643 for CMI and 0.665 for MCMI.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that CMI and MCMI can aid in early risk stratification for neurological decline in AIS patients.
