The Role of Nondiabetic Hyperglycemia in Critically Ill Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we aim to elucidate the association between nondiabetic hyperglycemia and the short-term prognosis of critically ill patients with acute ischemic stroke. We extracted data using the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV from 2008 to 2019. The primary outcomes were set as intensive care units (ICU) and in-hospital mortality. We developed a Cox proportional hazards model to determine the nonlinear association between serum glucose levels and primary outcomes. Of the 1086 patients included, 236 patients had hyperglycemia. Patients with hyperglycemia were associated with higher ages, female gender, higher Charlson Comorbidity Index scores, and higher Acute Physiology Score III scores. After propensity score matching, 222 pairs remained. The hyperglycemia group had a sig
