Glycated hemoglobin and outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Diabetes is an important risk factor for ischemic stroke. The glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level reflects the mean blood glucose level in the past 8-12 weeks. It is a detection index of abnormal glucose metabolism and chronic hyperglycemia. Some studies have shown that high HbA1c is associated with the poor outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke, including patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular mechanical thrombectomy. This article reviews the relationship between HbA1c and the outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke.
