Neutrophils and leukocytes in acute ischemic stroke: Traditional markers for predicting clinical outcomes

Objective: Systemic inflammation, particularly involving leukocytes and neutrophils, plays a critical role in stroke pathophysiology and lesion evolution and may influence treatment safety and outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of admission leukocyte and neutrophil counts in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with intravenous thrombolysis and/or mechanical thrombe…
