Monocyte/high-density lipoprotein ratio predicts the mortality in ischemic stroke patients.
The inflammatory process is a very important stage in the development and prognosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The monocyte to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio (MHR) is accepted as a novel marker for demonstrating inflammation. However, the role of MHR as a predictor of mortality in patients with AIS remains unclear. ⋯ Our study demonstrated that a high MHR value is an independent predictor of 30-day mortality in patients with AIS.
