Prognostic Influence of Increased C-Reactive Protein and Fibrinogen Levels in Ischemic Stroke

The prognostic influences of fibrinogen and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and their relations in ischemic stroke have not been well described. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the 1-year prognostic influences of fibrinogen and CRP levels on outcome in ischemic stroke.Fibrinogen and CRP were determined within 24 hours after stroke and related to 1-year outcome in 128 patients with first-ever ischemic stroke. The Kaplan-Meier...
