Background To evaluate the prognostic value of plasma YKL-40 (human cartilage glycoprotein-39) for acute ischemic stroke. Methods and Results We measured plasma YKL-40 levels in 3377 participants from CATIS (China Antihypertensive Trial in Acute Ischemic Stroke). Study outcome data on death, major d...
