Association between serum hepatocyte growth factor and prognosis of ischemic stroke: the role of blood lipid status

ConclusionsThere was a modified effect of blood lipid status on the association between serum HGF and ischemic stroke prognosis. Elevated serum HGF was associated with outcomes in ischemic stroke patients with dyslipidemia, especially low HDL-C. Further studies are warranted to replicate our findings and clarify the potential biological mechanisms.
