Using ROC curve analysis, they determined a serum CRP cutoff level of 3.035 mg/dL to predict a severe stroke with a sensitivity of 79.7% and a specificity of 75.6%, a poor cognitive prognosis using the MMSE with a sensitivity of 75.6% and a specificity of 83.3%, and a poor functional prognosis using the mRS with a sensitivity of 83%. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is stroke disorder.
