Purpose/aim of the study: Various factors are believed to be involved in the etiology of cerebral infarction. Anemia has been shown to deteriorate in association with ischemic stroke. However, the exact clinical association between anemia and ischemic stroke still remains unclear. We evaluated the clinical features of adult anemia patients with acute cerebral infarction and seek a better treatment different from the other causes of cerebral infarction, and to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of these anemia patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods: Thirty-two adult patients of acute cerebral infarction with anemia were included in this study. A primary discharge diagnosis of acute cerebral infarction with anemia was done, and all subjects were evaluated as retrospective data. The clinical features were analyzed. A chi-square test was used to analyze the associations between different variables. Therapeutic interventions and outcomes were analyzed under t-test, compared between the two groups.Results: The NIHSS score in the patients with the administration of EBV/CA (Expanding blood volume and correcting anemia) more lowed than Non-EBV/CA in 7 days and 14 days after initial hospitalization. The mRS score in the patients with the administration of EBV/CA also more lowed than Non-EBV/CA in 14 days. Moreover, the correlation between Hb-serum-level and NIHSS scores in the time of initial hospitalization is negative significantly.Conclusions: Anemia is associated with increased neuronal damage and deterioration of acute cerebral infarction in the adults. Expanding blood volume and correcting anemia are effective therapeutic measures in the adult patients of acute cerebral infarctions with anemia.
