Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio, Lymphocyte-to-Monocyte Ratio and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio as Predictors of Short- and Long-Term Outcomes in Ischemic Stroke Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Inflammatory response plays essential roles in the pathophysiology of both ischemic stroke and atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to investigate whether composite inflammatory markers, including neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), can serve as early predictors of short- and long-term outcomes in ischemic stroke patients with AF.
