Hyperglycemia as a prognosis predictor of length of stay and functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke

Background: Hyperglycemia has been shown to influence prognosis outcome of stroke. The objective of this study was to determine the correlation between hyperglycemia with length of stay (LOS) and functional outcomes in ischemic stroke patients. This is the first study to correlate hyperglycemia in ischemic stroke patients with their functional outcome as assessed by using Barthel index.Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of patients...
