AbstrakStroke adalah penyebab utama ke-3 kematian di Amerika Serikat. Stroke iskemik adalah kondisi kompleks dengan etiologi dan manifestasi klinis bervariasi. CT Scan kepala adalah pencitraan darurat stroke membedakan dengan perdarahan intrakranial. Beberapa peneliti mengemukakan adanya korelasi independent dan hubungan pemeriksaan rutin biomarkers pada pasien stroke iskemik akut termasuk di dalamnya parameter inflamasi yang berperan pada patofisiologi iskemia otak. Tujuan penelitian ini mengetahui korelasi kadar LED dengan penilaian ASPECTS pada pasien stroke iskemik. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasional analitik belah lintang dari catatan rekam medik. Selama periode Desember 2012 - Oktober 2014. Didapatkan 16 sampel yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan ekslusi. Dengan beberapa karakteristik subyek penelitian meliputi usia, jenis kelamin, hipertensi, diabetes mellitus, dislipidemia, kadar LED 1 dan 2, awitan stroke iskemik akut. Uji statistik Rank Spearman’s,dan uji bivariat maupun multivariat. Didapatkan hasil tidak ada korelasi antara nilai ASPECTS dengan kadar LED dan faktor yang mempengaruhi nilai ASPECTS.AbstractStroke is the third major cause of death in United States. Ischemic stroke results from complex conditions with various etiologies and clinical manifestations. Brain CT Scan is a stroke emergency imaging to differentiate intracranial hemorrhage. Several studies claimed there were independent correlation and relationship of biomarker in routine examination of acute ischemic stroke patients including inflammation parameters that contribute to the pathophysiology of brain ischemic. The purpose in this study was to identify correlation between ESR level and ASPECTS in ischemic stroke patients. The method of study was analytical observational cross sectional taken from medical record. It was performed in 16 patients that fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria during December 2012- October 2014. Several characteristics of subject that affecting ASPECTS included age, gender, hypertention, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, ESR level 1 and 2, and onset of acute ischemic stroke were assessed. Analytical test was performed by Rank spearman’s test and multivariate test. There was no correlation between ASPECTS with ESR level and factors that affect ASPECTS.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the disease caused by the novel coronavirus officially named the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic presents an unprecedented challenge to emergency radiology practice. The continuity of an effective emergency imaging service for both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients is essential, while adhering to best infection control practices. Under the direction of the Board of the Canadian Association of Radiologists, this general guidance document has been synthesized by collaborative consensus of a group of emergency radiologists. These recommendations aim to assist radiologists involved in emergency diagnostic imaging to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and continue to add value to patient care in the emergency setting.
