Hemoglobin level and three-month clinical outcomes among ischemic stroke patients with elevated systolic blood pressure

Previous studies have reported that extreme low and high hemoglobin levels are positively associated with the risk of ischemic stroke. However, there are few reports on the relationship between hemoglobin at acute phase and clinical outcomes after ischemic stroke and the results of their association to date are inconsistent. We aimed to investigate the association between them in a large prospective cohort of ischemic stroke patients.
