Correlation between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and stability of carotid plaques

The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been proved to be a strong predictor of carotid atherosclerotic plaque, but the correlation between NLR and the stability of carotid plaque is not clear. Thus we conducted a study to evaluate the correlation between NLR and the stability of carotid athero...

Description
Summary:The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been proved to be a strong predictor of carotid atherosclerotic plaque, but the correlation between NLR and the stability of carotid plaque is not clear. Thus we conducted a study to evaluate the correlation between NLR and the stability of carotid atherosclerotic plaque, and to develop a new evaluation scale for rapid clinical evaluation of carotid plaque stability. We recruited 528 patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke who were in accordance with extracranial and intracranial large artery atherosclerosis of Chinese ischemic stroke subtype. Blood routine examination and carotid ultrasound examination were performed on admission. According to the ultrasonic characteristics, the patients were divided into plaque stabilization group and plaque instability group. There was significant difference in NLR between plaque stability and instability groups (P
