Insulin resistance estimated by estimated glucose disposal rate predicts outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), a simple and noninvasive measure of insulin resistance, has been proven to be an independent risk factor for first-time stroke and all-cause mortality. In this study, we aimed to investigate the associations between eGDR and the stroke outcome in patients with first-time acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Methods

We included first-time AIS patients with available data on eGDR in the China National Stroke Registry III (CNSR-III), and divided the subjects into lower eGDR group (eGDR ≤ 6 mg/kg/min) and higher eGDR group (eGDR > 6 mg/kg/min). The primary outcome was excellent functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score 0-1) at 3 months. Secondary outcomes included stroke recurrence and favorable functional outcome (modified Rankin
