Associations of Anemia With Outcomes in Patients With Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a highly lethal disease without effective therapeutic interventions. Anemia is prevalent in neurocritical disease and correlated with higher mortality in the intensive care unit. However, there is a lack of evidence concerning the association between anemia and the clinical outcomes of ICH. Object: We aimed to assess the association between anemia and outcomes in patients with ICH. Methods: We systematically searched the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE and Web of Science from inception to November 2017. Eligible studies were cohort studies exploring the association between anemia and mortality or functional outcomes in patient with ICH. A Meta-analysis was performed, and heterogeneity was assessed using the I²
