Routine C-Reactive Protein on Admission and In-Hospital Outcomes in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Treated with Thrombectomy: A Retrospective Single-Center Study
Retrospective study assesses functional outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients post-thrombectomy, suggesting implications for CRP levels.
Key Points
This research aims to explore the relationship between C-reactive protein levels and in-hospital outcomes following thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke patients.
Evaluated serum CRP and laboratory parameters in 179 acute ischemic stroke patients who underwent thrombectomy upon admission.
Assessed in-hospital functional outcomes using the modified Rankin Scale at discharge.
Utilized multiple logistic regression to adjust for potential confounders.
Higher median CRP levels were observed in patients with poor outcomes (4.47 vs. 2.43 mg/L; p=0.042).
Infection was linked to poor outcomes (OR=6.12; 95% CI: 2.22-16.86; p<0.001).
