Description of an Association Between Leukocytosis and Clinical Outcomes in Large Hemispheric Infarctions

Leukocytosis has been observed to directly correlate with stroke severity but has not been specifically described in the LHI population. We hypothesized that patients with LHI and leukocytosis on admission have worse clinical outcomes.
