Impact of Elevated Hemoglobin A1c Levels on Functional Outcome in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke

Impact of Elevated Hemoglobin A1c Levels on Functional Outcome in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke, Background: The association between hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and clinical outcomes of acute ischemic stroke is uncertain. We aimed to evaluate the association between initial hemoglobin A1c level and clinical outcome after acute ischemic stroke.Methods: A total of 408 patients with first-ever acute ischemic stroke were included in this study., Background: The association between hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and clinical outcomes of acute ischemic stroke is uncertain. We aimed to evaluate the association between initial hemoglobin A1c level and clinical outcome after acute ischemic stroke.Methods: A total of 408 patients with first-ever acute ischemic stroke were included in this study. We divided the patients into three groups according to HbA1c level: low HbA1c level (HbA1c <5.7%), moderate HbA1c level (HbA1c 5.7-6.4%), and high HbA1c level (HbA1c ≥6.5%)., admin,
