Article Synopsis
  • Hyperglycemia is a common issue in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), and this study explores how changes in blood glucose levels affect 30-day mortality risk in these patients.
  • Data collected from the MIMIC database (2001-2019) analyzed blood glucose levels of 2,432 AIS patients, identifying four distinct glucose change patterns (trajectories) within the first 24 hours of admission.
  • The study found that a stable moderate glucose level trend (type 2) was linked to a higher risk of death within 30 days compared to a stable low glucose level trend (type 1), especially in older patients, females, those with and without diabetes, and those not using insulin.
