   ASSOCIATION BETWEEN ALTERED HS-CRP LEVELS AND  COGNITIVE FUNCTION OF ISCHEMIC STROKE PATIENTSABSTRACTIntroduction: The incidence of cognitive impairment in acute ischemic stroke patients is increasing. The mechanism of the inflammatory effect, such as  elevated hs-CRP level, a  non-specific inflammatory marker  sensitive to chronic inflammation due to hypoperfusion as well other vascular risk, is thought to have an effect on cognitive function.Aims: To determine the relationship of cognitive function changes in acute phase of ischemic stroke with hs-CRP level changes on day 3 and day 7 after onset.Methods: This was a cross sectional study of 31 first-timer ischemic stroke patients who met inclusion and exclusion criteria. The level of hs-CRP was checked on the 3rd day and 7th day after onset, while MoCA-Ina was assessed on the 7th day after onset. Cognitive disturbance was considered if MoCA <26. Analyses was done using SPSS 2.0Results: The average onset of day 3 Hs-CRP concentration was 0.66 (0.12-16.67)mg/dl and the onset of day 7 was 5.455 (0.14-17.34)mg/dl. The mean change of hs-CRP level between 3 day and 7 day after onset was -0,16 (-3.32-4.95). There was a significant correlation between elevated hs-CRP levels on day 3 and day 7 after onset with cognitive function of acute ischemic stroke patients.Discussion: There was a significant correlation between elevated hs-CRP levels on day 3 and day 7 after onset with cognitive function of acute ischemic stroke patients.Keyword: Acute ischemic stroke, hs-CRP, MoCA-Ina scoresABSTRAKPendahuluan: Insidens penurunan fungsi kognitif pada pasien stroke iskemik akut semakin meningkat.

Background There is growing evidence that inflammation plays an important role in atherogenesis. Several studies have shown that C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory marker, is associated with stroke severity and outcome. But limited studies are there which show the relationship of CRP with early mortality i.e within seven days. Objective To study the association of CRP within 24 hours after acute ischemic stroke onset with severity during admission, types of ischemic stroke and outcome. Methods This cross sectional study was done including 100 consecutive cases of acute ischemic stroke admitted to Neurology center of College of Medical Sciences, Bharatpur (Chitwan), Nepal. The cases were classified as per TOAST classification and severity at admission assessed using National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale. C-reative protein (CRP) level was estimated by latex particle agglutination test. Result Thirteen percent patients expired by 7th day. In the expired group, CRP was positive in 15.3 percent, 15.3 percent and 61.5 percent in patients with lacunar, cardioembolic and large artery atherosclerotic infarction respectively (p 0.19). CRP was positive in all 7 patients (53.8%) who had expired with severe NIHS scale (p 0.004). ConclusionHigh CRP level is associated with stroke severity at admission and is an independent predictor of early seven day mortality after ischemic strokeDOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/kumj.v9i4.6339 Kathmandu Univ Med J 2011;9(4):252-5

Background: Stroke, a serious neurological disease is a major cause of death and disability throughout world. The pathophysiology of stroke involves inflammatory pathways, oxidative damage, apoptosis, angiogenesis and neuroprotection. High sensitivity C - reactive protein (hs-CRP) is associated with atherosclerosis and predict incident stroke in many patients. Objective of present study was to find out change in pattern of hs-CRP in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients during 3-months follow up and its prognostic significance.Methods: Single centre prospective cross-sectional time bound study. 256 were screened and 130 meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria, of which 100 gave informed consent and 80 patients completed the study at 3 months. Demographic, clinical parameters including NIHSS scoring, biochemical analysis was collected at enrolment, discharge and at end of the study.Results: hs-CRP levels in AIS increased significantly (within 24 hours of stroke) and continued to increase further at discharge, while decreased significantly during 3 months follow up. >7mg/dl hs-CRP at admission had 3.5 fold higher risk of mortality. Age >60 years, metabolic syndrome, hyperlipidemic, SBP >160mmHg and hs-CRP > 7 mg/dL increases relative risk in AIS stroke patients by 1.42, 1.09, 1.11, 1.577 and 3.23 fold respectively.Conclusions: hs-CRP increased significantly in AIS patients during 1st weeks of stroke with subsequent gradual decrease by the end of 3 months, the severity scoring system could determine prognosis on admission to ICU while hs-CRP is the main factor determining short as well as long term prognosis. We recommend serial measurements of hs-CRP for prognostication in AIS subjects.

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.


Background: Inflammation plays a role in the pathophysiology of cerebral ischemic and also an initial response to brain injury. Inflammation involving Blood and Brain Barrier disturbance, leukocyte infiltration, endothelial cells activation, oxidant and inflammatory mediator buildups which can develop rapidly within hours and can cause secondary injury to brain tissues Objectives: To determine the correlation between Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and High Sensitivity C Reactive Protein (hsCRP) with severity and outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design approach. Sampling was done at H. Adam Malik General Hospital Medan and taken as many as 38 subjects. NLR and hsCRP were examined on the first day of admission. Severity was assessed by using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and the outcome was assessed by using the Modified Ranking Scale on the first and fourteenth day of admission. The data analysis used the contingency coefficient correlation test and gamma test. Results: Demographic characteristics of the subjects are; the average age is 62 years old, the highest educational level is high school graduate, and the most occupation is unemployed. There is a positive, moderate, and significant correlation between NLR and severity of acute ischemic stroke (r=0.511; p=0.001). There is a positive, moderate, and significant correlation between NLR and the outcome of acute ischemic stroke (r=0.463; p=0.001). There is a positive, very strong, and significant correlation between hsCRP and severity of acute ischemic stroke (r=0.896; p=0.001). There is a positive, strong, and significant correlation between hsCRP and outcome of acute ischemic stroke (r=0.624; p=0.001) Conclusions: There is a positive and significant correlation between NLR and hsCRP with severity and outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients.

Abstract Background: Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is a major complication after stroke, oral microorganisms are important contributors to SAP. Here, we aimed to investigate whether the oral hygiene was associated with SAP and related risk factors of them in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study that recruited 331 patients with acute ischemic stroke from two medical centers. A series of assessments were performed to evaluate the neurological status and habits of oral hygiene. According to whether the oral hygiene was abnormal and SAP occurred, univariate analyses were performed in cohort 1 (normal / abnormal oral hygiene groups) and cohort 2 (SAP / non-SAP groups). Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to confirm risk factors of oral cleanliness and SAP in stroke patients. Results: A total of 12 and 8 independent variables were included in the model 1 and 2 analysis. After adjusting for confounders, multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that oral cleanliness was not only closely related to SAP (OR=2.219, P=0.026), dental caries (OR=1.292, P=0.005) and age (OR=1.030, P=0.006) in model 1, but also an independent risk factor for predicting SAP (OR=1.678, P=0.001) in model 2. Barthel index was a protective factor for oral cleanliness (OR=0.986, P=0.019) and SAP (OR=0.977, P=0.002) in ischemic stroke patients. Conclusions: Mutually primary risk roles of abnormal oral cleanliness and SAP exist in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Dental caries and aging are important risk factors for oral health disorders. Improving the activities of daily living would have protective effects on both oral hygiene and SAP prevention in stroke patients.

BACKGROUND: Inflammation affects the brain after stroke with main functions to rapidly eliminate the source of the disturbance, remove damaged tissue and then restore tissue homeostasis. High sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is a sensitive marker of inflammation and tissue injury in the arterial wall, while fractalkine is a distinct chemokine that promotes inflammatory signaling after neuronal death on ischemic stroke. We aim to investigate the association of fractalkine with hsCRP as a marker of inflammation in ischemic stroke patients.METHODS: This study was designed as a cross-sectional study. Soon after patients with ischemic stroke admitted to hospital, plasma fractalkine and hsCRP concentrations were assesed. Subjects had to be at least 30 years old and maximum 30 days of stroke onset. High inflammation was defined as hsCRP value >3 mg/L.RESULTS: High fractalkine levels were found on 24 ischemic stroke patients (49%) and mean of fractalkine 0.719 ng/mL on patients with stroke onset <7 days was higher than patients with stroke onset 7-30 days. Low fractalkine levels (<0.527 ng/mL) were found on ischemic stroke patients with onset 7-30 days accompanied by high inflammation (hsCRP >3 mg/L), but no significant correlation between fractalkine and hsCRP (p=0.613).CONCLUSION: High inflammation and low plasma fractalkine profile was found after 7 days of onset in ischemic stroke patients. No significant correlation between fractalkine and hsCRP in ischemic stroke patients.KEYWORDS: CRP, fractalkine, inflammation, ischemic stroke

Objective: This study evaluated the efficacy of thrombolysis with 0.6 mg/kg intravenous alteplase for acute ischemic stroke patients within 6 h of stroke onset. Methods: This cross-sectional study collected data of patients with ischemic stroke received intravenous thrombolytic therapy with 0.6 mg/kg alteplase within 6 h of onset in Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital (Rumah Sakit Cipto Mangunkusumo [RSCM]) between November 2014 and August 2017. Efficacy of the thrombolytic therapy was evaluated using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS). NIHSS evaluated on 24 h and 7 d post thrombolytic therapy portrayed clinical outcomes of patients while mRS evaluated on day 30 post-thrombolysis portrayed the functional outcome of patients. Results: The median NIHSS score decreased on 24 h and 7 d post-thrombolysis. 33.3% patients experienced a reduction of NIHSS score ≥4 on 24 h post thrombolytic therapy. On day 7 following thrombolysis, 57.4% patients had a good clinical outcome. On day 30 follow-up, 55.6% patients had a good functional outcome. Conclusion: Thrombolysis using 0.6 mg/kg intravenous alteplase within 6 h of onset is effective for acute ischemic stroke patients.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection was one of the most serious health challenges in the world. The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia reports the number of HIV cases in Indonesia as of June 2019 as many as 349,882. At present, although antiretroviral combination therapy has been found, the prevalence of neurocognitive disorders in the form of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) reaches 50% of HIV patients. This study aimed to determine the relationship between high sensitivity-C Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) level and cognitive impairment assessed using MoCA-INA score in HIV patients at the UPIPI Dr. Soetomo Academic Hospital Surabaya. This cross-sectional study used consecutive sampling that fulfilled inclusion and exclusion criteria. The cognitive function of the subjects was examined by MoCA-INA score and blood samples were collected for measuring hs-CRP level. Of 100 subjects, 41 had abnormal MoCA-INA score and 59 had normal score. The number of subjects with high level of hs-CRP (>= 5) who had abnormal and normal MoCA-INA score were 22 (53,7%) and 6 (10,2%) respectively. This result was significantly difference with p = 0,0001, RO = 28,072 (95% CI, 5,470-144,052). Therefore, there was a significant relationship between hs-CRP level and cognitive function, where a subject with a high hs-CRP level was more likely to have impaired cognitive function.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused millions of deaths worldwide. Acute ischemic stroke is a life-threatening risk factor for COVID-19 infection. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is one of the predictors of poor prognosis in acute ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between NLR values and the clinical outcome of acute thrombotic stroke patients with COVID-19 that was measured using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). A cross-sectional hospital-based study was conducted in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya, Indonesia. Patients with acute thrombotic stroke and COVID-19 admitted between 1 March 2020 and 31 May 2021 were recruited. The NLR values and the NIHSS scores were assessed during the admission and the correlation between NLR and NIHSS scores was calculated. This study included 21 patients with acute thrombotic stroke and COVID-19, consisting of 12 males and 9 females. The mean age was 57.6 years old. The mean NLR values was 8.33±6.7 and the NIHSS scores ranging from 1 to 33. Our data suggested a positive correlation between NLR values and NIHSS scores, r=0.45 with p=0.041. In conclusion, the NLR value is potentially to be used as a predictor of the clinical outcome in acute thrombotic stroke patients with COVID-19. However, further study is warranted to validate this finding.
