Prognostic Significance of Stroke-Associated Infection and other Readily Available Parameters in Acute Ischemic Stroke Treated by Intravenous Thrombolysis

We studied the profiles of SAI in patients with AIS treated with alteplase toward identifying predictive factors and prognostic implications at 90 days post-stroke.
