Factors Affecting Ischemic Stroke Short-Term Outcome According to Hemoglobin Level

Background and aims There seems to be a U-shaped relation between hemoglobin level ischemic stroke severity. We aimed explore possible causes of this relation. Methods All patients with 2006 2016 admitted within 3 hours onset were included. Hemoglobin NIHSS score obtained on admission. Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was day 7. Locally weighted scatterplot smoothing (lowess smoother) curves displaying the frequencies M1 occlusion complications according admission lowess smoother mRS 7 in without middle cerebral artery (M1) obtained. Results This study includes 905 patients. Low associated pneumonia urinary tract infection. Neurological worsening not level. Increasing strongly increasing high (correlation factor=.61, P=.02). Conclusions Poor outcome low is during hospital stay whereas poor levels artery.
