Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Chronic inflammatory processes involving the vascular wall may induce atherosclerosis. Immune-inflammatory processes proceed throughout all stages of acute stroke. We investigated the association of three immune-inflammatory markers, namely systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and neutrophil count (NC), with prehospital delay and clinical features in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
