High blood glucose in non-diabetic patients during ischemic stroke indicates a worse prognosis. This hyperglycemia is linked to more severe stroke symptoms and increased mortality, suggesting it

Area of Science:

Neurology
Endocrinology
Clinical Medicine

Background:

Hyperglycemia is sometimes observed in acute ischemic stroke.
The prognostic significance of this hyperglycemia in non-diabetic patients is not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the prognostic value of high blood glucose levels in the early stage of ischemic stroke for non-diabetic patients.
To determine if hyperglycemia predicts stroke severity and mortality.

Main Methods:

Studied 76 patients hospitalized within 24 hours of acute cerebral infarction.
Categorized patients into diabetics, normoglycemic non-diabetics, and hyperglycemic non-diabetics.
Analyzed CT findings, clinical symptoms, and 30-day mortality, using multivariate analysis.

Main Results:

Hyperglycemic non-diabetics exhibited more severe clinical symptoms and higher 30-day mortality.
These patients had a significantly higher prevalence of large cortical/subcortical infarcts compared to lacunar infarcts.
Multivariate analysis confirmed hyperglycemia as a significant independent predictor of mortality.

Conclusions:

Hyperglycemia at stroke onset in non-diabetic patients is an adverse prognostic factor.
This stress-induced hyperglycemia may be related to the size of the brain infarction.
