The relationship between oxidized low-density lipoprotein and the NIHSS score among patients with acute ischemic stroke: The SOS-Stroke Study
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) has a defined role in the genesis and development of atherosclerosis, however, whether it is related to severity of neurological deficits is rarely reported. The aim of our study was to investigate the potential association between oxLDL and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score among patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in patients with atherosclerotic stroke: A prospective cohort study
Abstract: Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of baseline high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) on initial stroke severity and clinical outcomes in acute ischemic stroke.Methods: From August 2006 through December 2011, patients with acute atherosclerotic ischemic stroke were included. Total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and HDL-C were checked and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores were obtained at admission. The primary outcomes were a composite end point of all-cause mortality, recurrent stroke, or occurrence of ischemic...
