Plasma Inflammatory Markers and Ventriculostomy-Related Infection in Patients With Hemorrhagic Stroke: A Retrospective and Descriptive Study

ConclusionsNo differences in plasma inflammatory markers could be found between patients with VRI and patients without any infection. Conversely, CRP/PCT were higher in patients with non-cerebral infection than in patients with VRI. Altogether, CRP, PCT, and WBC are not suitable parameters for VRI diagnosis in neurocritical care unit patients.
