Low triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio predicts hemorrhagic transformation in large atherosclerotic infarction of acute ischemic stroke

class="figure-viewer-img"

Figure 1. Nomograms of patients attributable to large artery atherosclerosis to predict hemorrhagic transformation after acute ischemic stroke. Locate the TG/HDL-C on the respective axis; draw a straight line up to the Points axis to determine how many points toward hemorrhagic transformation the patient receives for the TG/HDL-C; repeat this process for diabetes mellitus and NIHSS; add the points and locate this number on the Total points axis; and draw a straight line down to find the patient’s estimated risk of hemorrhagic transformation. The c-indexes for the training and test cohorts of patients attributable to large artery atherosclerosis are 0.734 (A) and 0.698 (B), respectively. TG, triglyceride; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; NIHSS, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale.
