Applicability of the low-grade inflammation score in predicting 90-day functional outcomes after acute ischemic stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

The low-grade inflammation (LGI) score, a novel indicator of chronic LGI, combines C-reactive protein (CRP), leukocyte counts, the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and the platelet (PLT) count to predict outcomes of patients with various conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and neurodegenerative diseases. However, few studies have examined the role of the LGI score in predicting functional outcomes of patients with ischemic stroke. The present study aimed to evaluate the association between the LGI score and functional outcomes of patients with ischemic stroke.

Methods

A total of 1,215 patients were screened in the present study, and 876 patients were finally included in this retrospective observational study based on the inclusion a
