Notably, median MBL levels were similar in patients with a less severe (NIHSS score <7) vs. a severe stroke (NIHSS score >7) at presentation (1508 vs. 1488 ng/ml, p = 0.96), in patients with small vs. medium/large stroke lesions on MRI (1315 vs. 1482 ng/ml, p = 0.66), in patients with a complete recovery vs. an unfavorable outcome (1325 vs. 1680, p = 0.24) and in patients surviving vs. dying during a 90-day follow-up (1620 vs. 1341 ng/ml, p = 0.5). This evidence concerns the gene MBL2 and stroke disorder.
