ABSTRACT
Diabetes is an important risk factor for ischemic stroke. The glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level reflects the mean blood glucose level in the past 8-12 weeks. It is a detection index of abnormal glucose metabolism and chronic hyperglycemia. Some studies have shown that high HbA1c is associated with the poor outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke, including patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular mechanical thrombectomy. This article reviews the relationship between HbA1c and the outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke.
ABSTRACT
The clot burden score (CBS) is a scoring method that quantifies the range of intracranial thrombosis in the anterior circulation ischemic stroke according to the location. Some studies have shown that CBS has predictive value for patients with acute ischemic stroke receiving reperfusion therapy, including functional outcome, vascular recanalization, and hemorrhagic transformation.
ABSTRACT
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has the highest rates of mortality and morbidity in stroke types.Experimental and clinical studies demonstrate that inflammatory reactions are early triggered by hematoma components,enhance the damage within the hemorrhagic brain,and influence the prognosis.Recent studied show that neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR),as an easily available biomarker to assess the systemic inflammatory status,has predictive roles in patients with ICH.This article reviews the predictive roles of NLR in patients with acute ICH.
