Summary

Acute Ischemic Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability worldwide. Increasing evidence suggests that systemic inflammation plays a significant role in the pathophysiology and progression of ischemic brain injury. Recently, several inflammatory biomarkers derived from routine laboratory tests have been investigated as potential predictors of stroke severity and clinical outcome. This prospective cohort study aims to evaluate the predictive utility of the monocyte-to-albumin ratio, neutrophil-to-albumin ratio, and total leukocytic count-to-albumin ratio in patients with acute ischemic stroke. These indices combine inflammatory cell counts with serum albumin levels and may reflect both systemic inflammatory status and nutritional condition. Stroke severity will be assessed at admission using the NIH Stroke Scale, while functional outcome will be evaluated during follow-up using the Modified Rankin Scale. The study aims to determine whether these simple and readily available biomarkers can serve as reliable predictors of stroke severity and prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
