Cystatin C (CysC) has been found as a novel biomarker of neurodegenerative diseases, such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. We aimed to explore the possible correlations of serum CysC level with cognitive impairment in patients who had mild ischemic stroke and TIA after 1 year.Methods: We measured serum CysC level in 1025 participants with a minor ischemic stroke/TIA from enrolled from the Impairment of Cognition and Sleep (ICONS) study of the China National Stroke Registry-3 (CNSR-3). They were divided into four groups according to quartiles of baseline CysC levels. Patients’ cognitive functions were assessed by Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)-Beijing at day 14 and at 1 year. Multiple logistic regression models were performed to evaluate the relationship between CysC and post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) at 1-year follow-up.Results: Cognitive impairment was defined as MoCA-Beijing ≤ 22. Most patients were in 60s (61.52± 10.97 years old) with a median (interquartile range) National Institute of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS) score of 3.00 (4.00) and greater than primary school level of education, and 743 participants (72.49%) were male. Among the 1025 participants, 331 participants (32.29%) patients suffered PSCI at 1-year follow-up. A U-shaped association was observed between CysC and 1-year PSCI [quartile (Q)1 vs Q3: adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.69, 95% CI 1.67– 4.34, p < 0.0001; Q2 vs Q3: aOR 1.63, 95% CI 1.03– 2.57, p = 0.0354; Q4 vs Q3: aOR 1.83, 95% CI 1.16– 2.87, p = 0.009]. Moreover, the U-shaped trends were also found between CysC level and the subscores of attention, recall, abstraction and language in MoCA.Conclusion: CysC showed a U-shaped correlation with 1-year overall cognitive function. It is probable that measurement of the serum CysC level would aid in the early diagnosis of PSCI.Keywords: mild stroke, post stroke cognitive impairment, cystatin C
