Association of baseline fasting plasma glucose with 1-year mortality in non-diabetic patients with acute cerebral infarction: a multicentre observational cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Evidence on the association between fasting blood glucose and mortality in non-diabetic patients who had a stroke is limited. We aimed to investigate the association of baseline fasting plasma glucose (FPG) with 1 year all-cause mortality in non-diabetic patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI).

Design

A multicentre prospective cohort study.

Setting

Four grade A tertiary hospitals in the Xi'an district of China.

Participants

A total of 1496 non-diabetic patients within 7 days of ACI were included.

Main outcome measures

The outcome was 1 year all-cause mortality. Baseline FPG was analysed as a continuous variable and was divided into four quartiles (group Q1-group Q4). We used multivariable Cox regression analyses, curve fitting and Kaplan
