Effects of serum vaspin level on infarct volume and severity in patients with acute ischemic stroke

Stroke has a major impact worldwide in terms of mortality and morbidity. The aim our research was to determine the effect serum Vaspin level on acute ischemic stroke investigate relationship between level, National Institutes Health Scale (NIHSS) infarct volume. This study carried out 100 patients hospitalized with diagnosis Neurology Department Yakutiye Research Hospital Atatürk University Faculty Medicine 80 healthy controls. age sex patient control groups were consistent. Patients who met following criteria selected be included study. Exclusion criteria: presenting after first 24 hours overcome potential bias associated inflammatory conditions, diagnosed rheumatic autoimmune diseases, diseases that cause hypoxia coronary artery disease. levels measured compared (AIS) group. NIHSS calculated. Infarct volume also Cavalieri's principle. correlation them calculated statistically. higher group (825 vs. 939; p<0.001). significantly had stroke. Since examination presented suggested severity stroke, it found important morbidity affiliated it.
