Association of serum calcium levels with clinical severity of ischemic stroke at the time of admission as defined by NIHSS score: A cross-sectional, observational study

CONCLUSION: Serum ionized calcium certainly plays a role in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke by influencing the cycle of cytotoxic events that result in ischemic cell death. This study showed that the severity of ischemic stroke was greater in patients with low serum ionized calcium levels compared to patients with normal serum ionized calcium levels.PMID:36618244 | PMC:PMC9810920 | DOI:10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_1033_22
