Baseline Neutrophil Counts and Neutrophil Ratio May Predict a Poor Clinical Outcome in Minor Stroke Patients with intravenous Thrombolysis

Background: Evidence about whether neutrophil counts, neutrophil ratio linked with clinical outcome in patients with minor stroke after thrombolysis is scarce. The purpose of this study is to explore the association of neutrophil counts, neutrophil ratio with the 90-day clinical outcome in patients with minor stroke treated with intravenous thrombolysis. Materials and methods: A total of 163 patients with minor stroke treated with thrombolysis within window time were recruited from 2013 to 2017.
