We included 315 consecutive patients with a first episode of AIS who were admitted to the Stroke Unit between August 2020 and December 2021. Eligible patients’ baseline clinical data including demographic characteristics (age, sex), risk factors (history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, smoking, alcohol consumption), stroke etiologic subtypes, and treatments (anticoagulation agents, antiplatelet agents, statins) were collected. All patients were subjected to routine blood tests within 6 hours of admission.
