Association of Hemoglobin A1c and Baseline Ischemic Stroke Severity: A Population-Based Study (P1.187)

Conclusions: We found that elevated HbA1c was associated with decreased stroke severity at presentation. However, this effect is mediated by the history of DM rather than a specific dose-effect of glycemic control. Our results provide evidence that although chronic hyperglycemia increases risk of stroke, it is not associated with increased stroke severity.Disclosure: Dr. Yang has nothing to disclose.
