Per stand deviation (4.26 pg/mL) increase in the concentration of IL‐6 was associated with an increased risk of stroke recurrence (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.19; 95% CI, 1.09–1.29) and disability (aOR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.15–1.30) within 90 days. This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and stroke disorder.
