Blood Glucose Level within a Day after Stroke in Relation to Neurological Outcome.
|
|
|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Hyperglycemia after a stroke probably reflcts the-intensity of the stress hormone response. Many experimental studies have reported that elevated blood glucose concentration greatly enhances the extent and the degree of subsequent brain damage.
The
purpose of our study was to find out whether the blood glucose level in the first day after stroke correlated with the neurological outcome or not.
We found that blood glucose level in the first twenty-four hours showed a significant correlation with neurological outcome measured by modified Barthel index, but no correlation to cognitive capacity screening examination.
The neurological outcome of reattack cases was worse than firs tattack cases. We concluded that hyperglycemia after stroke reflects a stress response to more severe brain lesions.
