Basal IL-6 and S100b levels are associated with infarct volume.

Objectives: The study of biomarkers related to the infarct volume of acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) is a valuable clinical strategy. We conducted a prospective study to evaluate the relationship between a wide panel of biomarkers involved in different biochemical pathways and lesion volume.

Materials & Methods: We studied 332 patients with AIS.
