Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the predictive value of fasting blood glucose on clinical outcome after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with severe acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods:From January 2016 to November 2020, consecutive patients with severe AIS receiving intravenous thrombolysis in the Department of Neurology, Shengli Oilfield Central Hospital were enrolled retrospectively. Severe AIS was defined as the baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≥15. The primary endpoint was the clinical outcome evaluated according to the modified Rankin Scale at 90 d after onset. 0-2 was defined as a good outcome and a score of >2 were defined as a poor outcome. The secondary endpoint events were any intracranial hemorrhage and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH). Intracranial hemorrhage was defined as any local or distant parenchymal hemorrhage shown by craniocerebral imaging during the hospitalization. sICH was defined as any intracranial hemorrhage and the NIHSS score increased by ≥4 within 7 d after treatment. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to determine the independent influencing factors of various endpoint events. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of fasting blood glucose levels for endpoint events. Results:A total of 113 patients with severe AIS treated with intravenous thrombolysis were included, and 73 (64.6%) had a poor outcome; 29 (25.7%) had intracranial hemorrhage, of which 10 (8.8%) were sICH. Multivariate analysis showed that fasting blood glucose was the independent risk factors for poor outcome (odds ratio [ OR] 1.451, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.053-2.000; P=0.023) and sICH ( OR 1.235, 95% CI 1.013-1.504; P=0.036). The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of fasting blood glucose predicting poor clinical outcome at 90 d after onset was 0.731 (95% CI 0.637-0.824), the optimal cut-off value was 6.25 mmol/L, and the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 63.0% and 82.5% respectively. The area under the curve of fasting blood glucose predicting sICH was 0.728 (95% CI 0.577-0.878), the optimal cut-off value was 7.98 mmol/L, and the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 70.0% and 77.7% respectively. Conclusion:Fasting blood glucose is an independent predictor of sICH and poor outcome at 90 d after onset in patients with severe AIS receiving intravenous thrombolysis.
