Small dense low-density lipoprotein (sdLDL) is an established risk factor in @entity741 . However, its clinical significance in @entity64 ( @entity64 ) is uncertain. This study evaluates the prognostic value of the presence of sdLDL in @entity1 with @entity64 by determining whether it contributes to clinical outcome or not. We studied 530 consecutive @entity1 admitted within the first 48 hours after onset of @entity385 and 50 corresponding controls. Serum lipid parameters were measured on admission by standard laboratory methods. The percentage of @entity64 @entity1 with sdLDL was significantly higher than the one of matched controls with sdLDL. Concerning comparisons between @entity64 @entity1 with or without sdLDL, the percentages of males and @entity1 with histories of smoking, @entity101 , and @entity65 were significantly higher in @entity64 @entity1 with sdLDL. Concerning the grade of severity, @entity2653 ( @entity2653 ) on discharge was significantly higher in @entity64 @entity1 with sdLDL. On logistic regression analysis, age (OR=2.29, P<0.001), male gender (OR=0.49, P<0.01), history of @entity955 (OR=3.46, P<0.001), and the presence of sdLDL (OR=1.59, P<0.05) were significantly associated with poor prognosis ( @entity2653 on discharge >3). Our study showed that the presence of sdLDL might be independently associated with a poor prognosis after @entity64 .
