| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Lower leg muscle wasting is common in stroke patients; however, patient characteristics in the acute phase are rarely studied. This study aimed to examine the relationship between changes in quadriceps muscle thickness and disease severity, nutritional status, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels after acute stroke. METHODS: Thirty-one consecutive patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage or ischemic stroke had quadriceps muscle thickness measured in the paretic and nonparetic limbs within 1 week after admission (first week) and 2 weeks after the first examination (last week) using ultrasonography. We also determined the relationship between the percentage change in muscle thickness and disease severity, nutritional status, and CRP levels on admission. RESULTS: There was a significant correlation between changes in muscle thickness for both paretic and nonparetic sides and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores (paretic limb: r = -.46, P = .01; nonparetic limb: r = -.54, P = .002, respectively); however, there was no significant correlation with nutritional status on admission. Quadriceps muscle thickness was reduced more in the CRP-positive (≥.3 mg/dL) patients than in the CRP-negative (<.3 mg/dL) patients in the nonparetic limb (positive: -21.4 ± 12.1, negative: -11.4 ± 16.4%; P = .039), but not in the paretic limb (positive: -23.4 ± 9.0, negative: -19.1 ± 15.7; P = .27). CONCLUSIONS: A high NIHSS score and a positive CRP on admission were both significantly correlated with decreased quadriceps muscle thickness after acute stroke. Nutritional status on admission was not correlated with changes in quadriceps muscle thickness for these patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
