Random Blood Sugar on Admission and Outcome in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Journal Title: Nepal Journal of Neuroscience - Year 2014, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Stroke is a syndrome of rapid loss of focal or global cerebral function with symptoms usually lasting more than 24 hours or leading to death with no apparent cause other than that of vascular origin. This prospective observational study was done on 200 patients with acute ischemic stroke to analyze the prognostic signifi cance of random blood sugar on admission to the fi nal outcome. The mean blood sugar level was 8.3 mmol/L (±3.0 mmol/L). Hyperglycemia was present in 133 (66.5%) patients. Hyperglycemia (sugar > 7mmol/L) on admission is directly correlated with the fi nal outcome at one month (P=0.000).
