Association of High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein with Patient Prognosis Following Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke.

CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrates that patients with higher CRP levels had more unfavorable outcome, and exhibited higher sICH, and HT of infarct than those with lower CRP levels. Elevated hsCRP level, especially when higher than 3mg/L, is an independent predictor for poor clinical prognosis in patients with MT for LVO. PMID: 32416678 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
