Effects of hematological parameters on long term mortality in acute ischemic stroke patients

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Aims: Mortality can be seen in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in the early or late period. We investigated the role of mean platelet volume (MPV), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and stroke volume in late-term mortality. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included 132 AIS patients who applied to the emergency department of a university hospital over a consecutive 12-month period. Some patients were excluded from the study according to the exclusion criteria. Patients were divided into groups as survivors and deceased. MPV, NLR, PLR levels in each group were evaluated according to the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores. Diffusion-weighted MR images (DWI MRs) were evaluated and the infarct volumes of the patients were calculated. Results: The data of a total of 83 AIS patients who remained after exclusion were analyzed. The mean age, NIHSS score and infarct volume of the deceased were statistically significantly higher than the survivors (p
