Many other predictive factors of good functional outcome have been proposed in previous studies, including age, successful revascularization, parenchymal hemorrhage, baseline NIHSS score, anterior choroidal artery infarction, stroke subtype (intracranial atherosclerotic disease or embolism), posterior circulation Acute Stroke Prognosis Early CT Score, diffusion-weighted imaging lesion volume, glucose on admission, and hypersensitive C-reactive protein (31–35). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is Stroke.
