METHOD OF PREDICTING THE EVOLUTION OF A PATIENT SUFFERING OF STROKE

摘要

The invention is a method of predicting the evolution of a patient suffering of a neurovascular disease; preferably stroke, comprising obtaining a biological sample of said patient, assessing in said biological sample the level of endostatin and FasL, determinining whether said levels of endostatin and FasL together are above or below predetermined cut-off levels and predicting the functional outcome of said neurovascular disease on said patient evaluating the result of the previoues step. The combination of endostatin and FasL is a more powerful predictor that any clinical prognostic tool and adds significant prognostic value to all other clinical variables of the art.
