Predictive ability of C-reactive protein for stroke

Stroke is an important cause of morbidity and mortality as well as functional impairment particularly in the elderly people (1). Prediction of stroke outcome in high risk patients by appropriate marker and application of preventive measures may delay or prevent development of irreversible brain damage and subsequent functional impairment (2). Development of stroke is the result of longstanding ...

Predictive role of C reactive protein in stroke recurrence after cardioembolic stroke: the Fukuoka Stroke Registry

OBJECTIVES We investigated the clinical characteristics of patients with stroke recurrence in the first year after cardioembolic stroke, and determined the predictors associated with recurrence. DESIGN A prospective cohort study. SETTING Multicentre study at the Fukuoka prefecture in Japan. PARTICIPANTS We enroled 2084 consecutive patients who were hospitalised in stroke centres within 7 ...

predictive role of high sensitive c-reactive protein in early onset mortality after ischemic stroke.

background: high sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-crp) is a systemic inflammatory marker that is produced in a large amount by hepatocytes in response to interleukin-1 (il-1), il-6 and tumor necrosis factor after ischemic stroke. methods: measurement of hs-crp in the first 24 hours of onset in 162 patients suffering from ischemic stroke was done. relation of crp with the risk of early mortality...

C-Reactive Protein in Ischemic Stroke

C-Reactive Protein in Ischemic Stroke To the Editor: I read with interest the article by Di Napoli et al,1 who reported the first-ever ischemic stroke to further analyze the relationship between C-reactive protein (CRP) values measured immediately and at different times after stroke, and the 1-year outcome. The important message of this article is that the relationship between CRP and prognosis...
