We identified relationships of hematocrit with MRI lacunar infarcts in both stroke-free and ischemic stroke cohorts, respectively. The relationship between increased hematocrit concentrations with lacunar infarcts was replicated in both cohorts. Further studies are required to clarify the mechanisms behind the relationships of hematocrit with ischemic cerebral small vessel disease.
