Evaluation of lipid levels and LDL-C/HDL-C ratio as possible risk markers of intracerebral hemorrhage

Purpose: The aim of this study is to analyze the utility lipid parameters individually and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol/high-density cholesterol (LDL-C/HDL-C) ratio as a possible risk marker for intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH).
 Materials Methods: This was multicenter, retrospective case-control that included 226 patients with ICH controls. Lipid were evaluated after 12 h fasting in whose confirmed by brain computed tomography, no underlying vascular, traumatic, or metabolic cause could be found. 
 Results: mean LDL-C levels total (TC) did not differ patient control groups. HDL-C groups significantly lower whereas triglyceride (TG) higher. In groups, LDL-C/HDL-C 2.65±1.10 2.94±1.13 (p=0.006), TG/HDL-C 3.60±2.72 4.47±3.25 (p=0.002), TC/HDL-C 4.37±1.49 4.83 ± 1.56 respectively.
 Conclusion: Increased TG decreased found associated ICHs. However LDL-C/HDL-C, TC/HDL-C, ratios low group. Therefore, we can conclude these give clearer more significant results determining hemorrhage.
