Association of admission plasma glucose level and cerebral computed tomographic perfusion deficit volumes

Hyperglycemia in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is frequent and associated with worse outcome. Yet, strict glycemic control in AIS patients has failed to yield beneficial outcome. So far, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of admission hyperglycemia in AIS have remained not fully understood. We aimed to evaluate the yet equivocal association of hyperglycemia with computed tomographic perfusion (CTP) deficit volumes.
