Why the study?

Does elevated CRP level predict the presence and degree of carotid stenosis in patients referred for possible carotid stenosis?

Structured PICO

Does elevated CRP level predict the presence and degree of carotid stenosis in patients referred for possible carotid stenosis?

Population

146 patients referred to a vascular surgery clinic for possible carotid stenosis at a tertiary care regional medical center.

Intervention

Baseline serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) level assessment

Outcome

Relationship between serum CRP level and the presence and degree of carotid stenosissurrogate

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Elevated CRP levels are independently associated with the presence and severity of carotid stenosis, suggesting its utility as an adjunct marker for global vascular risk assessment.
