Changes in albumin levels, S100BB serum levels, and NIHSS scores during the acute phase of ischemic stroke

	Day 1	Day 3	Day 5	Day 10	p
Albumin (g/dl)	4.04 (0.42)	3.80 (0.44)	3.80 (0.43)	3.72 (0.49)	0.006*
S100BB (pg/ml)	51.02 [30.15; 77.17]	57.95 [27.49; 109.06]	52.96 [30.80; 92.56]	36.00 [25.56; 59.24]	0.060†
NIHSS	13 [7; 18]	10.5 [5; 16]	9 [4.25; 15]	9 [3.25; 14]	0.045†
Volume of IF (ml)				17.00 [2.09; 67.48]
ADI				0.32 [−0.10; 0.60]

The volume of ischemic focus (IF) and the albumin decrease index (ADI) were estimated on day 10 of stroke. Values are expressed as mean (SD) or median (1st quartile; 3rd quartile)
