Non-survivor patients with malignant middle cerebral artery infarction showed persistently high serum malondialdehyde levels

Objective Previously there have been found higher circulating malondialdehyde levels during the first week of ischemic stroke in patients with worst neurological functional outcome, and at moment of ischemic stroke in non-survivor patients. Thus, the aim of our study was to determine the potential role of serum malondialdehyde levels during the first week of a severe cerebral infarction to mortality prediction. Methods This study was observational, prospective, and multicenter. We included patients with a severe malignant middle cerebral artery infarction (MMCAI) defined as patients with computed tomography showing acute infarction in more than of 50% of the territory and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) lower than 9. We determined serum concentrations of malondialdehyde on days 1, 4 and 8 of MMCAI. Results Serum malondialdehyde concentrations at days 1 (p < 0.001), 4 (p < 0.001), and 8 (p = 0.001) of MMCAI in non-survivor patients (n = 34) were higher than in survivor patients (n = 34). ROC curve analyses showed that serum malondialdehyde concentrations at days 1, 4, and 8 of MMCAI had an AUC (95% CI) to predict 30-day mortality of 0.77 (0.65–0.86; p < 0.001), 0.82 (0.69–0.91; p < 0.001) and 0.84 (0.70–0.93; p < 0.001) respectively. Conclusions The new findings of our study were that serum malondialdehyde levels during the first week of MMCAI could be used as biomarkers to mortality prediction..
