Hyperglycemia and Outcome in Intracerebral Hemorrhage: from Bedside to Bench—More Study Is Needed

Hyperglycemia on admission has been associated with poor outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, the mechanistic links between hyperglycemia and poor outcome are not fully elucidated. We sought to determine the relationship between the serum glucose levels during the first 72 h after...

Description
Summary:Hyperglycemia on admission has been associated with poor outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, the mechanistic links between hyperglycemia and poor outcome are not fully elucidated. We sought to determine the relationship between the serum glucose levels during the first 72 h after ICH, and evolution of hematoma and perihematomal edema (PHE), and functional outcome at 3 months and performed a retrospective review of prospectively collected data from 135 consecutive ICH patients. Patients were divided into two groups based on their mean glucose level—high (≥150 mg/dl) vs. controlled (
