ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To reveal the potential prognostic implications of admission inflammatory markers in patients with acute ischemic neurological events. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
Sixty patients with an acute ischemic neurological event who were examined within 24 h from the appearance of symptomatology. We determined the high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) concentrations, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), fibrinogen concentrations and degree of erythrocyte adhesiveness/aggregation.RESULTS:
A significant correlation was noted between baseline hs-CRP concentrations, ESR as well as adhesiveness/aggregation and the outcome of the ischemic neurological event as determined by the modified Rankin scale 8-12 months following the insult.CONCLUSION:
Admission inflammatory markers have long-term prognostic implications in patients with acute ischemic neurological events. These findings are relevant in view of the new therapeutic interventions now available for reducing the inflammatory response.
