Monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio affects prognosis in LAA-type stroke patients.

ABSTRACT: Nowadays, the prognostic prediction of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients is still challenging because of the limited predictive properties of existing models. Blood-based biomarkers may provide additional information to the established prognostic factors. Markers of atherosclerosis have been identified as one of the most promising biomarkers for predicting prognosis, and inflammation, in turn, affects atherosclerosis. According to previous studies, the ratio of monocytes to lymphocytes (MLR) has been reported as a novel indicator of inflammation. Thus, our study was the first to conduct more in-depth research on the relationship between MLR and the prognosis of large artery atherosclerosis (LAA)-type AIS patients. A total of 296 patients with LAA-type stroke were recruited. Of these, 20
