Investigating the relationship between primary blood sugar and the outcome and duration of stay of ischemic stroke patients with and without thrombolytic
Abstract
Risk factors for stroke include hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, smoking and alcohol use and contraceptive pills. In recent decades, the prevalence of stroke has decreased due to improvements in the treatment of hypertension. Therefore, based on this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of diabetes and primary blood sugar on the outcome and duration of hospitalization of stroke patients.
Methods: In this study, all patients referred to the emergency department who were treated with thrombolytics during 1398 and 1397 with a diagnosis of stroke were included in the study. For all patients studied, the information required for the study was recorded. All information was extracted from the Stroke registry of the Neuroscience Research Center.
Results: In this study, 1101 people were included in the study. The median age was 71 years and in the middle quarter of the population the age was between 61 and 80 years. Of these patients, 587 patients (53.3%) were male and 514 patients (64.7%) were female. In the group of patients who had both diabetes and thrombolytic therapy, which included 66 patients, primary blood sugar had no significant relationship with patient outcome and length of hospital stay. In the group of patients who did not have diabetes and underwent thrombolytic therapy, which included 181 patients, primary blood sugar had a significant relationship with patient outcome and length of hospital stay; But this connection is weak. In the group of patients who had diabetes but did not receive thrombolytic therapy, which included 241 patients, primary blood sugar had no significant relationship with patient outcome and length of hospital stay. In the group of patients who did not have diabetes and did not receive thrombolytic therapy, which included 613 patients, primary blood sugar had a significant relationship with the patient's outcome and length of hospital stay, but this relationship is weak.
