Multivariate Analysis of Serum High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein in Patients With Acute Phase Stroke (MAASP)

June 21, 2014 updated by: Jorge Yanez, Hospital Central Sur de Alta Especialidad
Stroke is one of main causes of death and impairment worldwide. Objective of this study is to analyze serum High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein in acute phase stroke in patients attended at Petróleos Mexicanos Hospital Central Sur de Alta Especialidad and to correlate with stroke extension and clinical features.
