Table 2.

Acute stroke outcomes and median IL-10 levels in males and females

	Alive and no hospice, median (IQR)	Death or discharge to hospice, median (IQR)
Males	NS	NS
Females	5.97 (3.43–10.13)*	10.33 (8.8–23.54)*

*p <0.05

IL-10 levels were not different between males who died or went to hospice and those who survived their hospital stay and were not discharged to hospice. Females who died or went to hospice had higher median IL-10 levels at 24 h post-stroke compared to those females who survived their hospital stay and were not discharged to hospice
