Association Between Hemoglobin A1C and the Severity of Acute Ischemic Stroke in Sudanese Patients in Omdurman Military Hospital

Background: Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) levels are known to be linked a higher risk of stroke. However, no research data is available on the impact HbA1C severity acute ischemic stroke in Sudan. Methods: This study descriptive, cross-sectional hospital-based 40 cases Ischemic was confirmed using computed tomography (CT) scan at admission; all subjects’ blood were also measured. Participants divided into two subgroups based admission, good glycemic control (GGC) (<7 HbA1C) and poor (PGC) (>7 HbA1C), neurological impairment assessed National Institutes Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Results: The age distribution participants 45-85 years, with an average 63.5±9.2 years highest frequency (67.5%) group 55-75 years. PGC had statistically significant high value 8.9±1.3 (P=0.000), when compared GGC 5.1±0. association between admission this (P value=0.005), (78.6%) moderate severe (> 18.8 NIHSS) versus (33.3%) that (>10.4NIHSS). elevated patients 70% study. Conclusion: shown occurrence its severity.
