Pre-Stroke Disability, Stroke Severity and Systemic Inflammation Outweigh Malignancy as Determinants of 90-Day Outcome After Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study

Abstract
Background/Objectives: Patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and coexisting malignancy have worse outcomes, but it is unclear how much of this reflects malignancy itself rather than pre-stroke function, stroke severity and systemic inflammation.
