S100A12 is expressed abundantly in granulocytes, and has been implicated to play an important role on inflammatory reactions in various disease states. We aimed to determine the association between plasma S100A12 levels and a functional outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Methods: We prospectively included 171 patients with acute ischemic stroke within 24 hours after onset in this study. Plasma samples were collected for the measurement of S100A12 levels. Poor functional outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale of 2-6 at day 90 after stroke onset.
Results: Of 171 patients, 74 (43.3%) had a poor functional outcome at day 90 after stroke onset. Plasma S100A12 levels on admission were significantly higher in patients with a poor functional outcome (2.1 [1.2–5.1] ng/mL, median [interquartile]) than in those with a favorable outcome (1.1 [0.5–2.0] ng/mL; pConclusions: High plasma S100A12 levels on admission are associated with a poor functional outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke..
