Résumé
Objective:To investigate the correlation between plasma homocysteine (Hcy) concentration and transient ischemic attack (TIA) and traditional vascular risk factors.Methods:The plasma Hcy concentrations of 112 patients with TIA and 62 controls were measured by fluorescenee polarization immunoassay.Hcy concentrations and related risk factors were analyzed.Results:The risk of TIA was increased significantly in plasma Hcy concentration 10.0 to 14.9 μmol/L group(OR=2.450,95% CI 1.091 to 5.502) and≥15.0 μmol/L group(OR=5.169,95% CI 2.096 to 12.746) compared with plasma Hcy concentration＜10.0 μmol/L group.Using TIA as the dependent wariable,various vascular risk factors (including plasma Hcy concentration) as the independent variable,logistic regression was analyzed.The result showed that the risk of TIA was increased significantly in plasma Hcy concentration＞10.0 μmol/L group compared with plasma Hcy concentration＜10.0 μmol/L group(OR=3.150,95% CI 1.380 to 7.192).Conclusions:Plasma Hcy concentration is an independent risk factor for TIA.
