    Elevated uric acid to lymphocyte ratio (ULR) is linked to poorer functional outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients.

  • 2

    Patients in the highest ULR quartile showed increased odds of poor functional outcomes at 3 months post-stroke.

  • 3

    The highest ULR quartile was associated with a nearly doubled risk of all-cause mortality at the 3-month follow-up.

  • 4

    Similar associations between elevated ULR and adverse outcomes were observed at the 1-year follow-up.

  • 5

    The study highlights ULR's potential as a biomarker for assessing inflammation and prognosis in AIS patients.
