Comparison of Admission Serum Glucose Concentration With Neurologic Outcome in Acute Cerebral Infarction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We studied the ability of serum glucose concentration and neurologic deficits at admission in predicting the outcome of acute cerebral ischemia in 65 patients given naloxone. Among our patients, the volume of infarction on computed tomograms and outcome were strongly related to the severity of neurologic deficits found at admission. Neither a history of diabetes nor hyperglycemia when added to the results of the initial neurologic assessment improved prediction of outcome after acute cerebral infarction.

متن کاملOutcome of patients with stroke admitted in stroke care unit and Neurologic
Introduction: Admission of patients with severe National Institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS Score>16) or moderate (NIHSS 8 through 16) acute stroks is different. Taking care of stroke patients admitted in stroke unit care (SCU) is costly. In comparison with admission in general neurology ward, we assessed the outcome of such patients based on stroke care unit (SCU) versus general neurol...
متن کاملHyperglycemia is a stress response in acute stroke.
To explore further the relation between admission glucose concentration and outcome in stroke, we measured glucose, fructosamine, and glycosylated hemoglobin concentrations on admission in 216 patients seen within 24 hours after the onset of their first stroke. Fructosamine concentration reflects the degree of glycemia in the preceding 4-6 weeks and glycosylated hemoglobin concentration reflect...
متن کاملبررسی شیوع اختلالات سطح سرمی سدیم در بیماران با خونریزی ساب آراکنوئید خودبخودی و ارتباط آن با پیش آگهی بیماری
Introduction & Objective: Electrolyte disturbances are frequently observed during the acute period after spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Hyponatremia and hypernatremia are the most common electrolyte disturbance in acute period of disease, and these disturbances may worsen cerebral edema and mass effect. We performed this study to determine the prognostic significance of serum sodium...
متن کاملAssociation between Serum Uric Acid Level and Stenosis in Atherothrombotic Infarction
Background: Previous studies show that serum level of uric acid is significantly correlated with mortality and functional outcome in patients with ischemic stroke and according to some other studies, ischemic stroke is associated with stenosis of some stenoisis of somespecific brain vessels. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of hyperuricemia and its associa...
