CAR was calculated from admission laboratory values. The primary outcome was the development of PSE within 1\u2009year. Multivariable logistic regression with three progressively adjusted models was used to control for demographic factors, stroke severity (NIHSS), comorbidities, neuroimaging findings, and extensive laboratory parameters. A restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis explored the relationship's nonlinearity. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses tested robustness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Elevated admission CAR was independently associated with increased PSE risk. After full adjustment, each unit increase in CAR yielded an odds ratio (OR) of 1.88 (95% CI: 1.64\u20132.16,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). The ROC analysis showed that the AUC for CAR in predicting PSE was 0.84 (95% CI: 0.83\u20130.85). RCS analysis revealed a significant nonlinear relationship (p\u2010nonlinearity &lt;\u20090.001) with an inflection point at CAR\u2009=\u20091.15. A pronounced dose\u2013response relationship was observed across CAR quartiles, with the highest quartile (Q4) showing a substantially elevated risk (adjusted OR\u2009=\u200934.42, 95% CI: 18.58\u201369.70) compared to the lowest (Q1).
