Abstract

The relationship between hyperglycemia and arterial recanalization following intravenous recombinant tissue-plasminogen activator treatment in acute ischemic stroke is not well understood. We aimed to evaluate the effects of hyperglycemia in thrombolysed ischemic stroke patients on recanalization rate and clinical outcome. We studied 348 (231 subjects from the CLOTBUST databank and 117 subjects from the CLOTBUST trial phase II) with documented intracranial artery occlusion treated with intravenous recombinant tissue-plasminogen activator. Serum glucose was determined at baseline before intravenous recombinant tissue-plasminogen activator administration. Hyperglycemia was defined as a glucose level ≥140 mg/dl (7·7 mmol/l). Transcranial Doppler findings were interpreted using the thrombolysis in brain ischemia flow grading system as persistent arterial occlusion, re-occlusion or complete recanalization. Poor clinical outcome was defined by modified Rankin score > 2 at three-months. At baseline, 138 patients (37·4%) were hyperglycemic and 210 patients (56·9%) normoglycemic. Baseline characteristics based on glucose ≥ 140 (7·7 mmol/l) or less 140: age (70·0 ± 12·4 vs. 67·3 ± 14·1, P = 0·065), baseline National Institutes of Health ...Continue Reading
