Association between iron deficiency anaemia and ischemic stroke with a focus on the incidence, clinical presentation and treatment outcome in Adults: Research protocol

Abstract

The evidence encompassing the correlation between iron status and the risk of ischaemic stroke is conflicting. Iron deficiency anaemia is an unusual aetiology of ischaemic stroke in adults. Despite having reports on the association between iron deficiency anaemia and stroke, little research is undertaken on a large scale to explore the association of iron deficiency anaemia with stroke and its treatment outcomes.
