The diagnostic and prognostic value of serum XXXX levels in @entity1 with ischemic stroke.

@entity1 @entity64 @entity1570
The aim of this study was to investigate the potential diagnostic and prognostic role of @entity1570 ( @entity1570 ) in Chinese @entity1 with @entity64 ( @entity64 ). All consecutive @entity1 with first-ever @entity64 from January 2014 to August 2014 were recruited to participate in the study. @entity1570 and NIH @entity64 Scale were measured at the time of admission. Short-term functional outcome was measured by modified Rankin scale 3 months after admission. Multivariate analyses were performed using logistic regression models. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the accuracy of serum @entity1570 in diagnosing @entity64 and prognosing functional outcome. From 375 screened @entity1 , a total of 288 @entity1 with first-ever @entity64 were included in this study. Based on the ROC curve, the optimal cutoff value of serum @entity1570 levels as an indicator for auxiliary diagnosis of @entity64 was projected to be 3.5 ng/mL, which yielded a sensitivity of 88.1 % and a specificity of 73.5 %, with the area under the curve at 0.907 (95 % CI 0.882-0.932). In multivariate analysis, there was an increased risk of unfavorable outcome associated with serum @entity1570 levels >= 7.6 ng/mL (OR 4.356, 95 % CI 2.993-7.132, P < 0.0001) after adjusting for possible confounders. Our study demonstrated that elevated serum @entity1570 level at admission was an independent diagnostic and prognostic marker in @entity1 with @entity64 .
