METHOD OF PREDICTING SHORT-TERM MORTALITY IN ISCHEMIC STROKE USING THE RATIO OF PROCALCITONIN TO C-REACTIVE PROTEIN

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for providing information for short-term mortality prediction of ischemic stroke using the ratio of procalcitonin (PCT) to c-reactive protein (CRP), and more specifically , measuring the PCT concentration and CRP concentration in a blood sample isolated from an individual, and calculating the ratio of PCT concentration to CRP concentration (PC ratio) from the measured PCT concentration and CRP concentration information for short-term mortality prediction of ischemic stroke It relates to a method of providing as In the present invention, after collecting medical records of patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke, retrospective analysis of data from patients with both PCT and CRP records showed that the PCT-to-CRP ratio (PC ratio) among various indicators including PCT and CRP ) index was derived to have a significant correlation with short-term (90-day) mortality of ischemic stroke, and it was confirmed that the risk of short-term death increased as the index increased. Can be used as a marker.
