CRP and Stroke: In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, after adjusting for age, sex, hypertension and diabetes mellitus history, stroke history, smoking, alcohol consumption, systolic and diastolic blood pressure at admission, triglyceride, uric acid, glycosylated hemoglobin, platelet count, high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hs‐CRP) and infarct size, the risk of ND was greater in the multiple AS group than the no AS group (aOR = 6.47, 95% CI = 1.73–24.05, p = 0.005) (Table 3).
