Abstract:
Objective To investigate correlation between serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level and severity of disease and outcome in cerebral infarction (CI).Methods Ninety patients with CI within onset of 2 weeks were evaluated by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Barthel index (BI) at admission and 3 months later. Serum CRP level were measured at admission. Correlation analysis was performed between serum CRP level and NIHSS, BI scores.Results The patients were divided into group A [( 1.23?0.32)mg/L], group B [( 5.04?1.93) mg/L]and group C [( 25.34?14.27)mg/L] according to different serum CRP level. Serum CRP level correlated significantly with severity and outcome at admission and 3 months later ( r=0.40, 0.42, -0.55,-0.44,respectively, all P
