The relationship between oxidized low-density lipoprotein and the NIHSS score among patients with acute ischemic stroke: The SOS-Stroke Study

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) has a defined role in the genesis and development of atherosclerosis, however, whether it is related to severity of neurological deficits is rarely reported. The aim of our study was to investigate the potential association between oxLDL and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score among patients with acute ischemic stroke.
