Abstract
Stroke is a major cause of mortality worldwide, and survivors often have major life-changing disabilities. Annually in the United States, an estimated 795,000 people experience a new or recurrent stroke. All types of stroke involve an inflammatory reaction that follows the initial phase of incidence. However, investigations into any links between inflammatory markers and recovery processes in the context of post-stroke rehabilitation are lacking. In this systematic review, we searched the literature in PubMed, SCOPUS, and CINAHL databases to gather information on inflammatory biomarkers related to stroke and their association with rehabilitation outcomes, according to PRISMA guidelines. Eleven articles (n=1.773 stroke patients) were selected. Immune markers (interleukin 6 [IL-6], C-reactive protein, IL-1α, tumor necrosis factor α, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1) and functional status assessments (Modified Rankin Score, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, Functional Independence Measure, etc.) were the primary measures used in the reviewed studies. We found preliminary evidence for the evaluation of inflammatory biomarkers post-stroke, including the role of inflammation in functional recovery and the influence...Continue Reading
