Body fluid multiomics in 3PM-guided ischemic stroke management: health risk assessment, targeted protection against health-to-disease transition, and cost-effective personalized approach are envisaged

Because of its rapid progression and frequently poor prognosis, stroke is the third major cause of death in Europe and the first one in China. Many independent studies demonstrated sufficient space for prevention interventions in the primary care of ischemic stroke defined as the most cost-effective protection of vulnerable subpopulations against health-to-disease transition. Although several studies identified molecular patterns specific for IS in body fluids, none of these approaches has yet been incorporated into IS treatment guidelines. The advantages and disadvantages of individual body fluids are thoroughly analyzed throughout the paper. For example, multiomics based on a minimally invasive approach utilizing blood and its components is recommended for real-time monitoring, due to the particularly high level of dynamics of the blood as a body system. On the other hand, tear fluid as a more stable system is recommended for a non-invasive and patient-friendly holistic approach appropriate for health risk assessment and innovative screening programs in cost-effective IS management. This article details aspects essential to promote the practical implementation of highlighted achievements in 3PM-guided IS management.
