Introduction: Stroke remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, necessitating effective prognostic tools for optimal management. Inflammation plays a pivotal role in stroke pathogenesis, highlighting the importance of biomarkers such as Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and Platelet-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) in prognostication. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study involving 154 diabetic stroke patients admitted to a tertiary care hospital was conducted. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected, and Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and Platelet-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) were calculated. Patients were categorized based on their NLR and PLR levels, and associations with stroke severity, functional outcomes, and mortality were assessed. Results: Elevated NLR and PLR were significantly associated with increased stroke severity, decreased functiona.. Read More»
