MIF and stroke disorder: After adjustments for demographic and vascular risk factors, and correction for multiple comparisons, higher plasma levels of CD62E (adjusted Hazard Ratio (aHR)/SD increment: 1.63, 95%CI 1.22-2.20) and MIF (aHR: 1.56, 95%CI 1.18-2.06) in the acute phase after stroke were statistically significantly associated with increased risk of recurrent stroke or TIA.
