Serum Prealbumin Levels on Admission as a Prognostic Marker in Stroke Patients Treated with Mechanical Thrombectomy.

Introduction: Prealbumin is a marker of malnutrition and inflammation. It has been associated with poor prognosis in cardiovascular disease, but less is known in stroke patients. Our objective was to evaluate the association of prealbumin levels at admission with prognosis in patients with stroke treated with mechanical thrombectomy.
