INVESTIGATION OF BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL AND RELATED FACTORS AMONG SEVERE STROKE PATIENTS Objectives: To investigate blood glucose
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To investigate blood glucose levels and factors related to blood glucose concentration among severe stroke patients. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 72 patients with severe stroke admitted to the Stroke Department, Can Tho Central General Hospital from June 2020 to April 2022. Results: The average age of patients was 65.1±16.1, in which the percentage of ischemic stroke accounted for the majority at 55.6%. The median GCS and NIHSS scores were 8 and 24 points, respectively. Up to 59.7% of patients with severe stroke had hyperglycemia, and 19 patients had to be controlled with insulin infusion. There was no statistically significant association between blood glucose levels and GCS (p = 0.063). Blood glucose levels were related to pre-existing diabetes status (p = 0.029). Conclusion: Hyperglycemia is a common condition in patients with severe stroke. Blood glucose concentration was significantly associated with diabetes status.
