| Abstract: | Objectives Newly diagnosed disturbed glucose metabolism is highly prevalent in patients with stroke. Limited data are available on their prognostic value on outcome after stroke. We aimed to assess the association of glucose in the prediabetic and diabetic range with unfavourable short-term outcome after stroke. Materials and methods We included 839 consecutive patients with ischemic stroke and 168 patients with intracerebral haemorrhage. In all nondiabetic patients, fasting glucose levels were determined on day 2-4. Prediabetic range was defined as fasting glucose of 5.6-6.9 mmol/L, diabetic range as ≥7.0 mmol/L, pre-existent diabetes as the use of anti-diabetic medication prior to admission. Outcome measures were poor functional outcome or death defined as modified Rankin Scale ( mRS) score >2 and discharge not to home. The association of prediabetic range, diabetic range and pre-existent diabetes (versus normal glucose) with unfavourable outcome was expressed as odds ratios, estimated with multiple logistic regression, with adjustment for prognostic factors. Results Compared with normal glucose, prediabetic range ( aOR 1.8; 95% CI 1.1-2.8), diabetic range ( aOR 2.5; 95% CI 1.3-4.9) and pre-existent diabetes ( aOR 2.6; 95% CI 1.6-4.0) were associated with poor functional outcome or death. Patients in the prediabetic range ( aOR 0.6; 95% CI 0.4-0.9), diabetic range ( aOR 0.4; 95% CI 0.2-0.9) and pre-existent diabetes ( aOR 0.6; 95% CI 0.4-0.9) were more likely not to be discharged to home. Conclusions Patients with glucose in the prediabetic and diabetic range have an increased risk of unfavourable short-term outcome after stroke. These findings illustrate the potential impact of early detection and treatment of these patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
