Increased Hemoglobin A1c Level Is Associated with Decreased Hematoma Volume in Patients with Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage (P03.176)

CONCLUSIONS: Our data showed inverse correlation between HbA1c levels and BHV. This contradiction may suggest that acute hyperglycemia in response to acute stress is the effect rather than cause of severe ICH. Further studies to determine if increased HbA1c levels lead to the early activation of clotting factors in ICH patients, or increased HbA1c levels lead to changes in the structure of the vessel wall is warranted.Disclosure: Dr. Mehta has nothing to disclose.
