Impact of hemoglobin levels on acute ischemic stroke severity
The results of this retrospective study on a small cohort of patients diagnosed with AIS indicate that higher Hgb levels at hospital admission are associated with greater stroke severity, as measured by the NIHSS score. However, no significant effect was observed on stroke outcome at discharge or the TOAST classification.
