Background And Purpose: Malnutrition is highly prevalent in ischemic stroke patients. We aimed to investigate whether malnutrition indexes may be useful in predicting mortality at 90 days in ischemic stroke patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients who underwent thrombolytic therapy at three comprehensive stroke centers.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between neutrophil count, intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS), and patient outcomes after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in people with ischemic stroke.
- The research included 221 patients, finding that 36.3% had ICAS, while over half experienced poor outcomes at 90 days.
- Results indicated that higher neutrophil counts and the presence of ICAS were associated with worse outcomes, suggesting that ICAS plays a mediating role in how neutrophil levels affect recovery post-EVT.
