title: Predictive value of biochemical markers in stroke.
abstract: Biochemical markers of cerebral ischemia and subsequent inflammation represent a potential diagnostic and predictive modality in acute ischemic stroke. Measurement of these markers may improve clinical functions ranging from diagnosis of ischemic stroke to prediction of functional outcome at 3 months. Predictive models, using various biochemical markers, continue to be investigated.
