Objectives to Cover:
- Introduction – Stroke is a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide.
- Background – Serum ferritin is an acute-phase reactant associated with inflammation and oxidative stress.
- Rationale – Elevated serum ferritin may correlate with the severity and prognosis of stroke.
- Objectives – To evaluate the association between serum ferritin levels and stroke outcomes.
- Methodology – A hospital-based observational study was conducted among stroke patients at IGIMS, Patna.
- Assessment – Clinical severity and prognosis were evaluated using standard neurological assessment scales.
- Analysis – Serum ferritin levels were analyzed in relation to stroke severity and patient outcomes.
- Findings – Higher serum ferritin levels may be associated with increased stroke severity and poorer prognosis.
- Conclusion – Serum ferritin may serve as a useful biomarker for assessing stroke severity and predicting prognosis.
