Randomized trial evaluates NLR and SII for diagnosing CVA in dogs, suggesting prognostic implications.

This study aims to assess the diagnostic and prognostic relevance of NLR and SII in dogs with confirmed cerebrovascular accidents.
Analyzed 17 dogs with CVA and 20 healthy controls retrospectively.
Calculated NLR and SII from complete blood counts at presentation.
Assessed functional outcomes using the Canine Functional Stroke Score.
Dogs with CVA had significantly higher NLR (70.6% sensitivity, 90.0% specificity) and SII (76.5% sensitivity, 90.0% specificity) than controls.
SII was significantly higher in non-survivors compared to survivors, indicating a correlation with poorer 30-day recovery.
The Kaplan–Meier analysis showed lower survival rates for the high-SII group compared to the low-SII group.

Oh et al. (2026) studied this question.
