Combined leukocytosis and elevated CRP was independently associated with poor functional outcome (ORunadjusted 3.07, 95% CI 2.53–3.73 and ORadjusted 2.26, 95% CI 1.76–2.91) and mortality (ORunadjusted 3.86, 95% CI 3.09–4.81 and ORadjusted 2.43, 95% CI 1.86–3.16) but not with sICH compared to normal WBC and CRP (Table 4). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and Increased total leukocyte count.
