Health-related quality of life after ischemic stroke: impact of sociodemographic and clinical factors
CONCLUSION: Stroke survivors have significantly reduced HR-QoL. Multiple interacting factors are associated with an unfavorable outcome after IS. Early detection of these factors would help to improve the care for IS patients, to reduce disabilities and improve HR-QoL.PMID:33637026 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2021.1893563

Cerebral hemorrhage following thrombolytic therapy for stroke: Are neutrophils really neutral?
An ideal biomarker can accurately predict disease risk stratification. The longstanding link between inflammatory responses and atherosclerotic disease and vascular events suggests great promise for inflammatory measures as biomarkers in stroke and other vascular disease. Recent studies across multiple areas and disciplines have suggested that leukocytes, as an inflammatory marker, and specifically neutrophils, may hold promise in predicting poor outcomes in various cardiovascular diseases (e.g., heart failure, acute coronary syndromes, stable coronary artery disease), including stroke, as well as in neoplasms, infections,...

Routine serum C‐reactive protein and stroke outcome after intravenous thrombolysis
ConclusionsAccording to our findings, elevated routine serum CRP measured within 24 h after admission does not seem to independently affect the outcome in patients receiving intravenous thrombolysis for stroke. However, further studies of blood samples taken directly before the treatment are needed.
