Combination of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and homocysteine predicts the short-term outcomes of Chinese patients with acute ischemic stroke.

abstract：:Background The distribution of risk factors for stroke is related to gender and age. The main objective of study was to determine the type and frequency of stroke risk factors in patients with first-in-life stroke before the age of 50. Methods Our study included patients under the age of 50 with first-in-life stroke. ...
