Free Fatty Acids in CSF and Neurological Clinical Scores: Prognostic Value for Stroke Severity in ICU

Table 5

Correlation between free fatty acids in CSF and infarction volume.

	Infarction volume (ml)				value
	<145		≥145
FFA in CSF	Mean ± SD	Range	Mean ± SD	Range	0.001
	0.30 ± 0.24	0.14–1.20	0.31 ± 0.17	0.10–1.40

CSF FFA showed positive correlation with infarction volume ≥ 145 ml. The ROC curve showed a cutoff value of 0.25 nmol/µl, sensitivity of 76.9%, and specificity of 71.4%.
