Abstract:
Study on 20 stroke patients. Results: Mean values of Quicki and Homa indices were 0.50±0.02 and 3.73±2.63. The overall correlation between Quicki and Go was very high (r:-0.91; p<0.001) comparing with the correlation between Homa and Go (:0.79; p<0.001). Both Quicki and Homa indices correlated strongly with Io (r:-0.88; p<0.001 and r: 0.97; p<0.001). The overall correlation between Quicki and Homa was very high (r:-0.94; p<0.001).Quicki and Homa indices are simple, acceptable and indirect methods for evaluating the insulin-resistant state of troke patients.
