Abstract P274: Evaluation of Glycemic Variability and Discharge Outcomes in Patients Presenting With Ischemic Stroke Following Intravenous Thrombolysis
Abstract:Presentation Objective:
Does glycemic variability worsen Modified Rankin Score (mRS) following ischemic stroke in patients treated with thrombolytics (tPA)?
Background/Purpose:
Acute hyperglycemia and strict glucose control have been identified as predictors of hemorrhage, increased length of stay and hypoglycemia following ischemic stroke. However, the role of glucose variability in patients with ischemic stroke treated with tPA is largely unknown. The… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
