Özet: Aim: The aim of this study is to contribute to the literature by investigating the relationship of the data obtained from the patients presented to our emergency service with acute ischemic stroke with the prognosis of patients. Materials and methods: The study was conducted over the files of all patients applied to emergency service and obtained acute ischemic stroke (AIS) diagnosis between 01.01.2019-31.12.2019. All patients over 18 with accessible data and diagnosed with AIS were included in the study. Patients without of AIS type, and younger than 18, or without accessible data were excluded. Results: A total of 50 patients were included in the study. The average age of the patients was 69.74±11.72. Among the patients, 20 (40%) were female. The analysis of application complaints of the cases revealed that 30 (60%) patients had loss of power in extremities. The leading medical history of patients were smoking 35 (70%) and hypertension 34 (68%). The laboratory results of the cases revealed the CRP as 22.11±37.45 mg/L and neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as 3.05±1.93. According to Modified Rankin Scale (MRS), 30 (60%) of the cases had a score equal and lower than 2, and 20 (40%) of them had a score of 3 or higher. NLR was statistical significance at differentiating between dependent and independent patients groups according to MRS. Conclusion: Although there are studies suggesting the use of NLR as a prognosis marker in AIS, for the generalization of these data they should be supported with many further randomized and controlled studies.
