Hypersensitive C‐reactive protein‐albumin ratio is associated with stroke‐associated pneumonia and early clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke

Abstract

Patients with AIS with a high CAR at admission are more likely to develop SAP during hospitalization and have poor short-term clinical outcomes. These findings might help to timely identify patients at high risk of SAP and provide a basis for further research on prophylactic antibiotic therapy.
