Abstract:
Background: Hyperglycemia is commonly seen in cerebral vascular accidents in general and in acute phase in particular. It is difficult for doctors to treat. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of stress hyperglycemia on mortality risk and disability risk in patient with acute ischemic stroke. Subjects and method: 105 patients with acute ischemic stroke with admission blood glucose level >/= 8.0mmol/l without history of diabetes mellitus from 2004 to 2007. These patients were divided into two groups: group 1 with admission blood glucose level of 8.0-11.0mmol/l; group 2 with that level of >l1.0mmol/l. Results: There was a significant reverse correlation between blood glucose level and the Glasgow score scale on admission and after 24 hours. The mortality risk in hospital of group 2 was higher than that of group 1 and the disability level of group 2 was more severe than that of group 1. Conclusion: Stress hyperglycemia increased the risk of in-hospital mortality in acute ischemic stroke patients and risk of severe disability after leaving hospital. \r\n', u'\r\n', u'
