Abstract
Background: Ischemic stroke is one of the major cause of disability worldwide. High sensitive Creactive protein plays a major role in acute stroke as a marker of inflammation. Aims: 1) To evaluate high sensitive C reactive protein as a prognostic tool in acute ischemic stroke. 2) The role of high sensitive C reactive protein in predicting the severity of acute ischemic stroke. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 acute ischaemic stroke patients admitted in SVMCH&RC, puducherry against their hs CRP levels for stroke prognosis. Hs CRP estimation was done within 24 to 48 hours. Result: 22% of the patients belonging to glasgow outcome score group(GOS) 4 & 5 have CRP detected by high sensitive method (i.e.<10.1mg/L). In this group 90.9% have Glasgow outcome score 5, while 41% of CRP >=10.1mg/L level of the patients have score 2. Since p value of 0.00 which is less than 0.05, hence there is an association between GOS and hsCRP. Conclusion: The study concludes that high sensitive CRP level predicts the severity of acute ischaemic stroke and guides us in the prognosis.
