Segmented neutrophil-to-monocyte ratio and systemic immune-inflammation index associated with the severity and functional prognosis of acute ischemic stroke.

Purpose/aim Of The Study: To identify the inflammation indexes associated with the severity and functional prognosis in ischemic stroke.

Material And Methods: A prospective study was conducted with ischemic stroke cases included in the i-ReNe clinical registry. Patients were divided into groups according to the severity on admission measured by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and the functional prognosis at 30 and 90 days of discharge measured by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).

Contribution of Onset-to-Alarm Time to Prehospital Delay in Patients with Ischemic Stroke.

Background: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability. Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) improves the clinical outcome when administered properly; however, the most important factor to receive tPA is time. The main reason for late hospital arrival is a considerable delay in onset-to-alarm time (OAT), comprising more than 50% of the onset-to-door time.
