comparison between the group and group. Continuous data presented nonnormal distribution (age and NIHSS) were expressed by median (range) and analyzed by Mann–Whitney test. Continuous data presented normal distribution (BMI, FPG, TC, TG, LDLC, HDLC, CRP, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-11, and infarct volume) were expressed by and analyzed by Student’s test. Chi-square test was used for rates (sex, current smoker, complication, and infarct location).
