    BackgroundThis study was undertaken to evaluate the frequency of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) at admission and its correlation with clinical and radiological severity of stroke and outcome.MethodsTwo hundred consecutive stroke patients within 48 hours of ictus were prospectively included, and their clinical details including Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), and feature of raised intracranial tension were noted. Computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging finding included stroke type, location, size, midline shift, herniation, and intraventricular hemorrhage score. SIRS was noted on days 1, 2, 7, and 15. Death and outcome at 3 months were based on modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score.ResultsSeventy-five (37.5%) had infraction and 125(62.5%) intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). SIRS was present in 120 (60%) patients: all the features in 56 (28%), 3 in 48 (24%), and 2 in 16 (8%). The presence of SIRS decreased with time: on the second day in 57%, seventh day in 43%, and 15th day in 21% of patients. Admission SIRS correlated with the GCS score (P < .001), NIHSS score (P < .001), volume of ICH (P < .001), infarction size (P < .001), hypernatremia (P = .001), and respiratory paralysis (P < .001). Thirty-one (15.5%) patients died, and 30 (97%) of them had SIRS. At 3 months, 110 (55%) patients had poor outcome (mRS >2) and of them 90 (82%) had SIRS (P < .001). On multivariate regression analysis, the number of SIRS criteria (P = .16) was not significantly related to 3-month outcome and death but independently related to NIHSS score at admission (odds ratio [OR] = 1.39; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.22-1.56; P < .001), GCS score (OR = 1.32; 95% CI = 1.01-1.71; P = .04), and duration of hospitalization (OR = 1.07; 95% CI = 1.01-1.15; P = .03).ConclusionsSIRS at presentation is a useful marker for clinicoradiological severity of stroke but not an independent marker of death and disability.Copyright © 2015 National Stroke Association.
