Purpose: This study aims to investigate the prognostic value of the peripheral neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with chronic internal carotid artery occlusion (CICAO) complicated by cerebral infarction.

Patients And Methods: The clinical data of 99 CICAO patients complicated by cerebral infarction were retrospectively analyzed. The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was used to assess their 3-month prognosis, and a multivariate logistic regression model was established to explore risk factors for poor prognosis.

We aimed to examine the total WBC count in relation to PSCI and whether this association was mediated by LA.

Background And Purpose: Increased high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) levels were found in patients after acute ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to examine whether the circulating HMGB1 levels could predict the 3-month post-stroke depression (PSD).

Methods: The subjects were first-ever ischemic stroke patients who were hospitalized during the period from July 2020 to December 2020.
