Prognostic Value of C-Reactive Protein and Albumin in Neurocritically Ill Patients with Acute Stroke.

ABSTRACT: We evaluated the prognostic value of C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, CRP clearance (CRPc) and CRP/albumin ratio (CAR) in neurocritically ill patients with acute stroke. This is a retrospective, observational study. We included acute stroke patients who were hospitalized in the neurosurgical ICU from January 2013 to September 2019. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. A total of 307 patients were enrolled in the study. Among them, 267 (87.0%) survived until discharge from the hospital. CRP and CAR were significantly higher in non-survivors than in survivors (both p < 0.001). Serum albumin levels were significantly lower in the non-survivors than in the survivors (p < 0.001). In receiver operating characteristic curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mo
