Insights
Stress-induced hyperglycemia (SIH) in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is linked to increased risks of pulmonary infection and mortality. This finding highlights SIH as a critical factor impacting outcomes after ICH.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Endocrinology
- Critical Care Medicine
Background:
- Admission hyperglycemia is frequent in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
- Causes include pre-existing diabetes mellitus (DM) and stress-induced hyperglycemia (SIH).
- Limited research exists on the link between SIH and ICH outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine if SIH or pre-existing DM causes admission hyperglycemia in ICH patients.
- To investigate the association between hyperglycemia subtypes and ICH outcomes.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of admission glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), glucose levels, and comorbidity data from the CHEERY study.
- Classification of patients into nondiabetic normoglycemia, diabetic normoglycemia, diabetic hyperglycemia, and SIH groups.
- Use of modified Poisson regression models to assess ICH outcomes.
Main Results:
- 1372 patients were analyzed; 388 had admission hyperglycemia (239 with DH, 149 with SIH).
- SIH was associated with increased risk of pulmonary infection (RR: 1.477).
- SIH correlated with higher 30-day (RR: 1.068) and 90-day mortality (RR: 1.060) after ICH.
Conclusions:
- Admission hyperglycemia is common post-ICH.
- SIH is a significant predictor of pulmonary infection and mortality risk following ICH.
Introduction:
Admission hyperglycemia is a common finding after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) secondary to pre-existing diabetes mellitus (DM) or stress-induced hyperglycemia (SIH). Studies of the causal relationship between SIH and ICH outcomes are rare.
Aim:
We aimed to identify whether SIH or pre-existing DM was the cause of admission hyperglycemia associated with ICH outcomes.
Methods:
Admission glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), glucose levels, and comorbidity data from the prospective, multicenter cohort, Chinese Cerebral Hemorrhage: Mechanisms and Intervention Study (CHEERY), were collected and analyzed. According to different admission blood glucose and HbA1c levels, patients were divided into nondiabetic normoglycemia (NDN), diabetic normoglycemia (DN), diabetic hyperglycemia (DH), and SIH groups. Modified Poisson regression models were used to analyze ICH outcomes in the different groups.
Results:
In total, 1372 patients were included: 388 patients with admission hyperglycemia, 239 with DH, and 149 with SIH. In patients with hyperglycemia, SIH was associated with a higher risk of pulmonary infection [risk ratios (RR): 1.477, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.004-2.172], 30-day (RR: 1.068, 95% CI: 1.009-1.130) and 90-day mortality after ICH (RR: 1.060, 95% CI: 1.000-1.124).
Conclusions:
Admission hyperglycemia is a common finding after ICH, and SIH is a sensitive predictor of the risk of pulmonary infection and all-cause death after ICH.
