Fasting blood glucose-to-glycated hemoglobin ratio and functional outcomes in patients with ischemic stroke following endovascular treatment-a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stress hyperglycemia is common in acute ischemic stroke (IS) and has been linked to adverse outcomes. The fasting glucose-to-glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) ratio (GAR) has been proposed as a simple marker reflecting stress hyperglycemia relative to chronic glycemic status. Still, its prognostic value in patients undergoing endovascular treatment (EVT) remains unclear. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the association between GAR and 90d-day functional outcomes in these patients.

Methods

PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Wanfang, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were systematically searched through May 29, 2025. Studies reporting the association between GAR and poor functional outcome, defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 3-6 at 90 da
