IL6 and ischemic stroke: Additionally, correlations between IL-6 levels determined in the blood serum in < 4.5 h and in the 1st day of ischemic stroke and results evaluated according to the mRS scale on admission (R = 0.52, p < 0.01 and R = 0.44, p < 0.01, respectively), on discharge (R = 0.61, p < 0.01 and R = 0.47, p < 0.01, respectively), after 3 months (R = 0.68, p < 0.01 and R = 0.3, p < 0.01, respectively) and 1 year since the stroke (R = 0.73, p < 0.01 i R = 0.50, p < 0.01, respectively) and the concentrations of IL-6 measured after 7 days on discharge (R = 0.28, p = 0.04) were also observed.
