Background: There is increasing evidence that cellular adhesion molecules (CAMs) play an important role in the pathophysiology of acute ischaemic stroke. We examined the prognostic value of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) on in-hospital mortality in patients with ischaemic stroke. Methods: We recruited 241 consecutive patients 322 ng/ml were the optimal points that discriminated those who died from the rest of the patients. Conclusions: High sICAM-1 levels on admission are associated with early death in ischaemic middle-aged stroke patients suggesting a pathogenetic role of inflammation in the evolution of ischaemic stroke.
