Association between iron-deficiency anemia and stroke in young children. Pediatrics. 2007;120(5):1053–1057; doi:10.1542/peds.2007-0502 The prevalence of iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) in children 12–38 months of age at the time of stroke and in age-matched healthy controls was compared in a case-control study conducted at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada. Case patients were selected from the Canadian Pediatric Ischemic Stroke Registry. Children who presented between January 1992 and December 2004 with arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) or sinovenous thrombosis (SVT) were considered for eligibility. Children with sickle cell disease, chronic systemic disease (excluding IDA), central nervous system disease or trauma, or indwelling catheters were excluded. For both case patients and control subjects, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), platelet count, and hemoglobin and serum ferritin levels were measured. IDA was defined as serum ferritin level of <12 g/L, MCV of... You do not currently have access to this content.
