Özet: Objective: Stroke has an important in emergency room admissions. Co-morbidities can increase the risk of stroke. Infection markers can be used in the diagnosis of stroke. The incidence of stroke originating from the left hemisphere has been reported more than the right. To investigate the accuracy of this situation; We tried to examine our patients who applied to our Emergency Department with stroke symptoms. Materials and Methods: In our study, 1049 patients who presented to our Emergency Department with stroke symptoms and were diagnosed with stroke after neurology consultation were included in our study within 2 years. It was recorded retrospectively whether there was a previous stroke, gender, history of additional disease, infarction region, hemorrhagic or ischemic infarction, whether the C-RP (C-Reactive Protein) / albumin value contributed to this situation was examined. Findings were analyzed with SPSS statistical program, Chi-square and Mann Whitney-U tests. Results: Between 2015 and 2017, 1049 patient findings were evaluated. Hemorrhagic findings were found in 74 (7.05%) of these patients, and ischemic infarction in 975 (92.95%). 875 (83.4%) of these patients had additional disease. Stroke originating from the left hemisphere was detected in 502 (47.9%) patients. C-RP, albumin, C-RP/ albumin values did not differ significantly (p> 0.005) in the group with hemorrhage and infarction. Conclusion: Patients with chronic diseases, especially hypertension, chronic artery disease, diabetes and a history of previous stroke are in the high-risk group in terms of stroke risk. For this, treatment method or risk reduction, measures should be taken before stroke develops.
