Özet

Background: Stroke is the leading cause of serious disability. Estimating severity of the disease and early risk assessment is crucial. Several studies have been carried on and several biomarkers have been proposed in the literature for risk assessment and to estimate the stroke prognosis. In this study we assessed the association of predictors such as patient age, gender, stroke volume and NIHS scores on prognosis of stroke event. We investigated whether the serum pentraxin-3 levels are linked with stroke prognosis.
