Serum Galectin-3 as a Potential Predictive Biomarker Is Associated with Poststroke Cognitive Impairment

Table 4

Logistic regression analysis for the association of galectin-3 with PSCI.

Variables	OR	95% CI
Model 1	2.34	2.05-4.58	<0.001
Model 2	1.79	1.30-2.11	<0.001
Model 3	1.46	1.27-1.83	<0.001

Model 1 adjusted for age, gender, education, and BMI. Model 2 adjusted for model 1, vascular risk factors, TOAST classification, and clinical biochemical index. Model 3 adjusted for model 2 and NHISS. Abbreviations: PSCI: poststroke cognitive impairment; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; BMI: body mass index; NHISS: National Institute of Health Stroke Scale.
