Association of serum uric acid with early post-stroke cognitive impairment after acute minor ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack
Serum uric acid (SUA) is associated with cognitive impairment, but relevant studies are controversial, and studies on SUA and cognitive impairment after acute minor ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) are scarce.
