ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Anemia is a risk factor for cerebrovascular events. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of anemia among patients who underwent a first-ever stroke and its impact on the neurological and functional state in the acute phase of stroke.
Material and methods:
The prospective study encompassed 109 patients (53 women) aged 72.8 ± 11.12 after stroke. We analyzed their neurological state on the first day after stroke by NIHSS and their functional status on the 14th day after the onset of stroke by the modified Rankin scale among patients with anemia and without anemia.
Results:
Anemia was found in 34 patients, in 15 women and 19 men; 8 patients aged ≤ 65 years. The neurological deficit according to NIHSS, functional status at the level of 3–5 by mRS and death did not differ significantly between the analyzed groups. An independent predictor of a worse functional status on the 14th day after stroke or death in Group 1 included the neurological state on the 1st day following stroke.
Conclusions:
Anemia appeared in approximately 1/3 patients suffering a stroke. Slight or moderate anemia in the acute period of stroke did not significantly influence the neurological or functional status in the acute phase of stroke. The neurological state on the first day is an independent factor of a poor prognosis in patients with anemia in short-term follow-up.
