Admission white blood cell (WBC) counts are routinely obtained, making the neutrophil&ndash;lymphocyte ratio (NLR) a readily available biomarker of the immune response to stroke. This study sought to identify the relationship between NLR and 90 day AIS outcome.&nbsp;This study shows that the NLR, a readily available biomarker, may be a clinically useful tool for risk stratification when evaluating AIS patients as candidates for endovascular therapies. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-link field-field-related-url"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24122003" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Admission neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio predicts 90 day outcome after endovascular stroke therapy</a> </div> </div> </div> biomarker stroke Fri, 02 May 2014 15:02:03 +0000 agurin 900 at http://nursefacultyscholars.org
