Why the study?
Although studies have shown a link between inflammation, atherosclerosis, and ischemic stroke, the relationship between the systemic immune-inflammation index and carotid artery stenosis remained to be evaluated.
Is the systemic immune-inflammation index a predictive marker of carotid artery stenosis in patients with acute cerebrovascular disease?
Is the systemic immune-inflammation index a predictive marker of carotid artery stenosis in patients with acute cerebrovascular disease?
The systemic immune-inflammation index and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio are significantly associated with the presence of carotid artery stenosis in patients with acute cerebrovascular disease.
Should not yet change CAS evaluation or risk assessment in acute stroke; leaves open SII as a simple marker needing prospective study.
