Association of diabetes mellitus and admission glucose levels with outcome after endovascular therapy in acute ischaemic stroke in anterior circulation.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

We aimed to assess the association of diabetes mellitus (DM) and admission hyperglycaemia (AH), respectively, and outcome in patients with acute ischaemic stroke with large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation treated with endovascular therapy (EVT) in daily clinical practice.

Methods

Consecutive EVT patients admitted to our stroke centre between February 2015 and April 2020 were included in this observational cohort study. Patients with versus without DM and with versus without AH (glucose ≥ 7.8 mmol/L) were compared.

Results

We included 1020 patients (48.9% women, median age = 73.1 years); 282 (27.6%) had DM, and 226 (22.2%) had AH. Patients with versus without DM less often showed successful reperfusion (odds ratio [OR]_adjusted</
