Association between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and ischemic stroke outcomes under different glucose metabolism statuses: a retrospective cohort study

Key Points

• Higher levels of hs-CRP are linked to poorer outcomes for patients with ischemic stroke, indicating a potential biomarker role.
• In patients with acute ischemic stroke, those with elevated hs-CRP showed a significantly higher risk of adverse outcomes.
• This retrospective cohort analysis includes diverse glucose metabolism statuses among patients with acute ischemic stroke.
• Findings suggest that hs-CRP could be a useful marker for evaluating stroke severity and guiding treatment strategies.
