By means of this study, it was aimed to evaluate the position of triage stroke panel in differential diagnosis of acute hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke and sub-types of ischemic stroke. Material and methods: Patients with acute stroke admitted to Emergency Department were prospectively recruited between June 2008-January 2009. BNP, D-dimer, MMP-9, S-100b levels were asseyed. Statistical significance for intergroup differences was assessed by Pearson's X-2 for categorical variables and Mann-Whitney U test or Kruskal-Wallis test for continuous variables. Results and conlusion: A total of 100 consecutive patients with a diagnosis of stroke were evaluated. Of these, 29 (29 %) patients had brain hemorrhages on the computed tomography scan performed the Emergency Department, 71 (71 %) patients had ischemic stroke. It was observed that the intercept obtained as a result of jointly evaluating BNP, D-dimer, MMP9 and S100b is more important in differential diagnosis (p<0.005). We suggest that using a combination of plasma biomarkers may be usefull to ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke for differential diagnosis (Tab. 4, Ref. 22).
