BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE—The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) at admission with safety and efficacy outcomes in acute stroke patients with large vessel occlusion after mechanical thrombectomy. METHODS—Consecutive large vessel occlusion...
