Role of N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide, High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, and Inteleukin-6 in Predicting a Poor Outcome after a Stroke

Elevated concentrations of IL-6 and hsCRP are associated with worse functional and cognitive outcomes at discharge, respectively.Neuroimmunomodulation
