Higher admission fasting plasma glucose levels are associated with a poorer short-term neurologic outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients with good collateral circulation

ConclusionHigher admission FPG levels are associated with significantly higher rates of unfavorable neurologic outcome of acute ischemic stroke patients with good collateral circulation. FPG and rFTD may serve as useful predictors of short-term patient outcome and could be used for risk stratification in clinical decision making.
