Abstract

Objectives: The aims of this study are to investigate a correlation between the infarct volume, Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) and some of the complete blood count (CBC) parameters such as leukocyte, lymphocyte, neutrophil, monocyte, platelet counts, red blood cell distribution width (RDW), platelet distribution width (PDW), and mean platelet volume (MPV) levels in patients with ischemic stroke and effectiveness of these parameters in predicting the prognosis.
