Objective: Early prediction of outcome in patients with ischemic stroke is important. Vasopressin is a stress hormone. Its production rate is mirrored in circulating levels of copeptin, a fragment of provasopressin. We evaluated the prognostic value of copeptin in acute stroke patients.Methods: In a prospective observational study, copeptin was measured using a new sandwich immunoassay on admission in plasma of 362 consecutive patients with an acute ischemic stroke. The prognostic value of copeptin to predict the functional outcome (defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of = 3), mortality within 90 days, was compared with the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score and with other known outcome predictors.Results: Patients with an unfavorable outcomes and nonsurvivors had significantly increased copeptin levels on admission (p
