Iron chelators for acute stroke.

CONCLUSIONS: We identified two eligible RCTs for assessment. We could not demonstrate any benefit for the use of iron chelators in spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage. The added value of iron-chelating therapy in people with ischaemic stroke or subarachnoid haemorrhage remains unknown. PMID: 33236783 [PubMed - in process]
