Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of saxagliptin on cognitive function in patients with ischemic stroke and type 2 diabetes.Methods This is a prospective cohort study. A total of 255 new ischemic stroke patients combined with type 2 diabetes were randomly divided into two groups, saxagliptin group and non-saxagliptin group (intervened with gliclazide). Demographic characteristics and basic biochemistry data were collected. The initial cognitive function was evaluated by Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). The participants with MoCA score below 26 and/or serum glucose disqualified were excluded. Totally 206 patients were screened, and cognitive function assessment was re-evaluated at 1, 3, and 5 months after stroke. The score below 22 points was set as the end point event, which was defined as post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI). MoCA scores between the two groups were analyzed with multivariate COX regression analysis.Results Totally 130 cases complete this research. Baseline data were compared between the two groups and no statistical differences were observed. At the end of the observation, 37 patients in the saxagliptin group reached the end point (62 analyzed), with the incidence of PSCI 59.7%, and 50 patients in the non-saxagliptin group reached the end point (68 analyzed), with the incidence of PSCI 73.5%. Multivariate COX regression analysis suggested that the hazard ratio (HR) for saxagliptin intervention was 0.617, with 95%CI 0.388~0.983 and P<0.05.Conclusion Saxagliptin hypoglycemic therapy can reduce the degree of PSCI in patients with ischemic stroke complicated with type 2 diabetes. Conclusion Saxagliptin hypoglycemic therapy can reduce the degree of PSCI in patients with ischemic stroke complicated with type 2 diabetes.
