Nonlinear association between hematocrit and 3-month outcome after acute ischemic stroke: identification of threshold effects in males
This study revealed a nonlinear, sex-specific relationship between HCT and 3-month outcome in AIS patients. In male patients, HCT levels below the threshold were inversely associated with adverse outcome, while no significant association was observed in female patients.
