CRP and Stroke: Compared with each of these biomarkers, CHA2DS2-VASc score had significantly better predictive ability for poor stroke outcome (c-statistic for CRP, Fibrinogen and TnI was 0.853;95%CI,0.802–0.895, 0.848;95%CI,0.796–0.891, and 0.792;95%CI,0.736–0.842, all p<0.001, respectively, versus 0.932;95%CI,0.892–0.960, p<0.001 for the CHA2DS2-VASc, all p for the comparisons<0.01).
