Results
A total of 3,152 patients, 1,604 of whom were women (50.9%), with a
mean age of 66.1 ± 14 (18-100) years who were hospitalized in the
neurology clinic between January 1, 2015 and January 1, 2018, comprised
the study’s sample. Mean age, mean leukocyte-neutrophil count and NLR
were significantly higher in stroke patients than in those without
stroke (p <0.001, p <0.001 and p <0.001,
respectively), but mean red blood cell, platelet and lymphocyte counts,
and hemoglobin and hematocrit values were found to be significantly
lower (p <0.001, p <0.001, p <0.001, p
<0.001 and p<0.001 respectively). When the hemogram
parameters were compared according to stroke type, red blood cell,
hemoglobin, hematocrit and NLR values in patients with hemorrhagic
stroke (p = 0.019, p = 0.002, p = 0.002 and p = 0.001, respectively) and
platelet and lymphocyte values in ischemic stroke patients were found to
be significantly higher (p = 0.002 and p <0.001,
respectively).
