Reports an observational study linking a combined inflammation and insulin-resistance biomarker to 3-month functional outcomes after intravenous thrombolysis in elderly ischemic stroke patients.
Key Takeaways
- Higher admission CTI values were associated with increased odds of unfavorable 3-month functional outcome as measured by mRS 3–6.
- Participants were divided into CTI quartiles with cutoffs at 8.743, 9.238, and 9.880 to analyze outcome trends.
- Logistic models adjusted for age, sex, vascular risk factors, NIHSS, onset-to-treatment time, proximal occlusion, and stroke subtype were used.
