Finally, after adjusting for other stroke predictors, BDNF-PBMCs predicted functional outcome (OR = 12.4, 95%CI: 1.4–112.2, p = 0.046) and the authors reported a cutoff value of 6.66 ng/mg to predict good functional outcome (mRS = 0–2) (sensitivity/specificity = 48.0%/92.9%, respectively). Here, BDNF is linked to Stroke.
