Inflammatory markers and in-hospital mortality in acute ischaemic stroke

Level and Value of Interleukin-18 After Acute Ischemic Stroke

“…25,26 Additionally, an association between C-reactive protein (CRP) or high-sensitivity (hs)-CRP and untoward clinical outcomes following acute IS has been well established. [27][28][29] In the present study, the most important finding was the independent predictive value of an increased circulating level of IL-18 for 90-day MACO. Recently, we have demonstrated that the IL-18 level is one of the most reliable independent predictors of 30-day MACO in patients with AMI undergoing primary coronary angioplasty.…”

Temporal Profile of Serum Levels of Il-6 in Acute Ischemic Stroke and Its Relationship With Stroke Severity and Outcome in Indian Population

“…We could also show that IL-6 levels at admission, day 7, one month and three months were significantly higher than control. Also, the values consistently declined over time period thereby suggesting subsiding of inflammation in post stroke period, but were still higher than the healthy controls that was consistent with the findings of Rallidis et al [14]. Our study demonstrated a significant positive correlation between baseline serum IL-6 levels and stroke severity as determined by NIHSS day 1 and infarct volume on DWI.…”

Serum amyloid A, fetuin-A, and pentraxin-3 levels in patients with ischemic stroke: novel prognostic biomarkers?

“…Studies have shown that CRP was strongly associated with the prognostic outcome after AIS (1,19,24,25). Ormstad et al (1) found that CRP played an important role in the progression of cerebral tissue injury.…”
