ALB and Stroke: There was a high significant positive correlation between albumin and stroke outcome (r = 0.632, p value = 0.003), a significant negative correlation between total leukocyte count and stroke outcome (r = − 0.536, p value = 0.015) and significant negative correlations between hematocrit and stroke outcome (r = − 0.545, p value = 0.013) (Table 6).
