MBL2 and ischemic stroke: If all study participants (thrombolysis and conservative treatment group) were analyzed together, MBL levels were still independently associated with an unfavorable outcome three months after ischemic stroke (OR 1.23, 95% CI 1.03–1.46, for every 1000 ng/ml increase, p = 0.019) in addition to only age (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.02–1.05, for every year increase, p<0.0001).
