Summary

Whereas diabetes mellitus is clearly a risk factor for the occurrence of stroke and for its poor prognosis, hyperglycemia per se is also linked to increased morbidity and mortality in stroke patients.Therefore, the objective of this work was to study the glycemic status of acute ischemic stroke patients and to assess its impact on stroke outcome.

Detailed description

Using PASS program, setting alpha error at 5% and power of 80%, the total sample size was estimated to be 80 cases. The NIHSS was used as a primary outcome; 40 cases were needed in each group. Secondary outcomes were hemorrhagic transformation, hospital stay duration, mechanical ventilation, need for vasopressors, and 30-days mortality.
