The association between systemic immune-inflammation index and post-stroke depression: a meta-analysis (opens in new tab)

The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), a composite biomarker derived from peripheral blood counts, reflects systemic inflammatory status and has been associated with adverse neurological outcomes.
