C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory marker, increases after stroke and may predict functional outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This study aimed to evaluate CRP’s role in assessing stroke severity and short-term outcomes. A prospective observational study was conducted, with a mean patient age of 62.3 years. The majority of patients had moderate stroke (58%), and 16% had minor stroke. CRP levels were significantly related to stroke severity (p=0.001). Hypertension, dyslipidemia, and smoking were associated with worse short-term outcomes. At discharge, 4% were independent, while 14% were totally dependent. CRP levels can serve as an independent prognostic factor for stroke severity and functional outcomes.}, keywords = {Acute Ischemic Stroke, CRP, Barthel Index}, month = {January}, }
