Monocyte count at onset predicts poststroke outcomes during a 90-day follow-up

Abstract

Smoker had more severe AIS and higher leucocytes and adhesion molecule levels. In the overall cohort, monocyte count was an independent predictor of worse poststroke outcome. Although larger trials are needed, monocyte count might be a cheap prognostic parameter in AIS.

Hypertension and the effect of dietary salt on inflammation: An interventional study

“…Similar to our study ndings, several studies [16][17][18] have reported that fasting blood sugar is a predictor for future incidence of hypertension and is elevated in hypertensive patients. A higher monocyte count is a surrogate for in ammatory processes and a predictor of future hypertension as reported in one study [19]. Elevated monocyte count was associated with hypertension in our study and this has previously been reported elsewhere [20] in the HIV negative population.…”

Importance of complete blood count parameters and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in central and peripheral vertigo

“…Following AIS, monocyte levels increase and migrate to the infarct area, contributing to the enlargement of the ischemic lesion (20,21). Bolayır (20) reported that the monocyte count was significantly higher in AIS patients compared to controls.…”

Research update for articles published in EJCI in 2017

“…In line, a higher glucocorticoid replacement dose decreases plasma CETP activity in patients, thereby contributing to higher high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and an increase in estimated HDL size. X 48 In the overall cohort, monocyte count was an independent predictor of worse poststroke outcome. Although larger trials are needed, monocyte count might be a cheap prognostic parameter in acute ischemic stroke.…”

“…In the 3 years following the publication of the study “Monocyte count at onset predicts poststroke outcomes during a 90‐day follow‐up”, prognostic relevance of monocytes (assessed as decreased lymphocyte‐to‐monocyte ratio) was later confirmed in acute ischaemic stroke. Noteworthy, a relevant prognostic accuracy was also maintained during the first 7 days after acute event .…”
