Other predictors of functional outcomes status consisted of age (P<0.001), NIHSS score (p<0.001), presence of hypertension (P=0.012), diabetes (P=0.016) and atrial fibrillation (P<0.001), acute treatment (P=0.002), lesion volumes (P=0.001), and serum levels of HS-CRP (P=0.016) and HCY (P=0.026), all of which showed statistical differences. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is hypertensive disorder.
