Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the connection between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and long-term mortality in patients who experienced acute ischemic stroke (AIS), focusing on a five-year follow-up.
  • Analysis of 416 AIS patients revealed that elevated NLR is significantly linked to an increased risk of both all-cause and vascular mortality over five years.
  • Multivariate analysis highlighted that factors like stroke history, NIHSS score, and NLR quartiles consistently predict higher mortality rates, with specific NLR cutoff values identified for better risk assessment.
