Association of diabetes and white blood cell count with stroke in patients with carotid artery dissection
Ischemic stroke caused by carotid artery dissection causes severe damage to the nervous system. This study found that diabetes and high white blood cells count were associated with the incidence of ischemic stroke in patients with carotid artery dissection. Therefore, monitoring and controlling blood glucose levels and infections is essential in patients with carotid artery dissection to reduce the incidence of stroke.
