Abstract
Background: Stroke is a devastating disorder and a significant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. In India, stroke prevalence rates vary, making it a major health concern. Elevated levels of inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), have been associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular events. While CRP has been studied as a predictive marker for future cerebrovascular events, its role as a prognostic marker for functional outcomes after stroke remains less explored.
