Abstract
PURPOSE Differentiating ischemic brain damage is critical for decision making in acute stroke treatment for better outcomes. We examined the sensitivity of amide proton transfer (APT) MRI, a pH-weighted imaging technique, to achieve this differentiation. METHODS In a rat stroke model, the ischemic core, oligemia, and the infarct-growth region (IGR) were identified by tracking the progression of the lesions. APT MRI signals were measured alongside ADC, T1, and T2 maps to evaluate their sensitivity in distinguishing ischemic tissues. Additionally, stroke under hyperglycemic conditions was studied. RESULTS The APT signal in the IGR decreased by about 10% shortly after stroke onset, and further decreased to 35% at 5 h, indicating a progression from mild to severe acidosis as the lesion evolved into infarction. Although ADC, T1, and T2 contrasts can only detect significant differences between the IGR and oligemia for a portion of the stroke duration, APT contrast consistently differentiates between them at all time points. However, the contrast to variation ratio at 1 h is only about 20% of the contrast to variation ratio between the core and normal tissues, indicating limited sensitivity. In the ischemic core, the APT signal decreases to about 45% and 33% of normal tissue level at 1 h for the normoglycemic and hyperglycemic groups, respectively, confirming more severe acidosis under hyperglycemia. CONCLUSION The sensitivity of APT MRI is high in detecting severe acidosis of the ischemic core but is much lower in detecting mild acidosis, which may affect the accuracy of differentiation between the IGR and oligemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with acute ischemic stroke with a large vessel occlusion (LVO) admitted to non endovascular-capable centers often require inter-hospital transfer for thrombectomy. We aimed to describe the incidence of substantial clinical change during transfer, the factors associated with clinical change, and its relationship with 3-month outcome. METHODS We analyzed data from two cohorts of acute stroke patients transferred for thrombectomy to a comprehensive center (Stanford, USA, November 2019 to January 2023; Montpellier, France, January 2015 to January 2017), regardless of whether thrombectomy was eventually attempted. Patients were included if they had evidence of an LVO at the referring hospital and had a National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score documented before and immediately after transfer. Inter-hospital clinical change was categorized as improvement (⩾4 points and ⩾25% decrease between the NIHSS score in the referring hospital and upon comprehensive center arrival), deterioration (⩾4 points and ⩾25% increase), or stability (neither improvement nor deterioration). The stable group was considered as the reference and was compared to the improvement or deterioration groups separately. RESULTS A total of 504 patients were included, of whom 22% experienced inter-hospital improvement, 14% deterioration, and 64% were stable. Pre-transfer variables independently associated with clinical improvement were intravenous thrombolysis use, more distal occlusions, and lower serum glucose; variables associated with deterioration included more proximal occlusions and higher serum glucose. On post-transfer imaging, clinical improvement was associated with arterial recanalization and smaller infarct growth and deterioration with larger infarct growth. As compared to stable patients, those with clinical improvement had better 3-month functional outcome (adjusted common odds ratio (cOR) = 2.43; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.59-3.71; p < 0.001), while those with deterioration had worse outcome (adjusted cOR = 0.60; 95% CI = 0.37-0.98; p = 0.044). CONCLUSION Substantial inter-hospital clinical changes are frequently observed in LVO-related ischemic strokes, with significant impact on functional outcome. There is a need to develop treatments that improves the clinical status during transfer. DATA ACCESS STATEMENT The data that support the findings of this study are available upon reasonable request.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia during early brain injury (EBI) period after spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with poor outcome, but the underlying physiopathology is unknown. This study assessed if hyperglycemia during EBI is associated with markers of neuroaxonal injury and whether these biomarkers partially account for the association between hyperglycemia and poor clinical outcome. Ninety-two SAH patients admitted within 24 h of bleeding onset were prospectively included. Glucose levels were measured at arrival and every 6 h for 72 h. Serum neurofilament light chain (NFL) levels were measured at 72 h. Functional outcome was assessed with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days (poor outcome, mRS > 2). The association between glucose metrics, NFL levels, and clinical outcome was assessed with univariate and multivariate analyses. Mediation analysis was performed to examine the potential chain in which NFL may mediate the relationship between glucose and functional outcome. Higher glucose and NFL levels during EBI were associated with poor clinical outcome in adjusted analysis. NFL levels were associated with older age, higher initial severity, and higher glucose levels during EBI period. In adjusted mediation analyses, the association between glucose and clinical outcome was significantly mediated by NFL levels. The mediator NFL explained 25% of the association between glucose during EBI period and poor functional outcome at 90 days. In SAH, the association between glucose levels during EBI and poor clinical outcome might be significantly mediated by NFL levels. The link between hyperglycemia and poor clinical outcome might be explained in part through secondary neuroaxonal injury.

Abstract
AIMS Hyperglycemia on admission is associated with poor prognosis in ischemic stroke (IS) patients. We aimed to investigate the relationship between stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) and short-term or long-term mortality in IS patients in the ICU and to explore whether this relationship is influenced by diabetes status. MATERIALS AND METHODS We collected patients with severe IS requiring ICU admission in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV) database and calculated SHR. Outcomes included 30-day, 90-day, and 1-year mortality. The association between SHR and mortality in patients with critical IS was elucidated using Multivariate Cox regression and subgroup analysis for diabetes. RESULTS A total of 1376 patients were recruited. After adjusting for potential confounders, patients in the third and fourth quartiles had a significantly increased risk of death at 30 days, 90 days, and 1 year compared to the first quartile of SHR (Q3 vs. Q1: HR 1.56-1.80, all p < 0.02; Q4 vs. Q1: HR 1.75-2.15, all p < 0.001; all p for trend < 0.001). In addition, the highest quartile of SHR was significantly associated with short-term or long-term mortality compared with the first quartile, regardless of diabetes status. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that stress hyperglycemia, defined by the glucose/HbA1c ratio, is associated with increased short-term and long-term mortality in patients with ischemic stroke, independent of the patient's diabetes status.

Acute-to-chronic glycemic ratio as an outcome predictor in ischemic stroke in patients with and without diabetes mellitus. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:206.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Elevated plasma glucose levels are common in patients suffering acute ischemic stroke (AIS), and acute hyperglycemia has been defined as an independent determinant of adverse outcomes. The impact of acute-to-chronic glycemic ratio (ACR) has been analyzed in other diseases, but its impact on AIS prognosis remains unclear. The main aim of this study was to assess whether the ACR was associated with a 3-month poor prognosis in patients with AIS. RESEARCH, DESIGN AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of patients admitted for AIS in Hospital del Mar, Barcelona. To estimate the chronic glucose levels (CGL) we used the formula eCGL= [28.7xHbA1c (%)]-46.7. The ACR (glycemic at admission / eCGL) was calculated for all subjects. Tertile 1 was defined as: 0.28-0.92, tertile 2: 0.92-1.13 and tertile 3: > 1.13. Poor prognosis at 3 months after stroke was defined as mRS score 3-6. RESULTS 2.774 subjects with AIS diagnosis were included. Age, presence of diabetes, previous disability (mRS), initial severity (NIHSS) and revascularization therapy were associated with poor prognosis (p values < 0.05). For each 0.1 increase in ACR, there was a 7% increase in the risk of presenting a poor outcome. The 3rd ACR tertile was independently associated with a poor prognosis and mortality. In the ROC curves, adding the ACR variable to the classical clinical model did not increase the prediction of AIS prognosis (0.786 vs. 0.781). CONCLUSIONS ACR was positively associated with a poor prognosis and mortality at 3-months follow-up after AIS. Subjects included in the 3rd ACR tertile presented a higher risk of poor prognosis and mortality. Baseline glucose or ACR did not add predictive value in comparison to only using classical clinical variables.

Post-acute ischemic stroke hyperglycemia increases the risk of hemorrhagic transformation, which is associated with blood-brain barrier disruption. Brain microvascular endothelial cells are a major component of the blood-brain barrier. Intercellular mitochondrial transfer has emerged as a novel paradigm for repairing cells with mitochondrial dysfunction. In this study, we first investigated whether mitochondrial transfer exists between brain microvascular endothelial cells, and then investigated the effects of post-acute ischemic stroke hyperglycemia on mitochondrial transfer between brain microvascular endothelial cells. We found that healthy brain microvascular endothelial cells can transfer intact mitochondria to oxygen glucose deprivation-injured brain microvascular endothelial cells. However, post-oxygen glucose deprivation hyperglycemia hindered mitochondrial transfer and exacerbated mitochondrial dysfunction. We established an in vitro brain microvascular endothelial cell model of the blood-brain barrier. We found that post-acute ischemic stroke hyperglycemia reduced the overall energy metabolism levels of brain microvascular endothelial cells and increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier. In a clinical study, we retrospectively analyzed the relationship between post-acute ischemic stroke hyperglycemia and the severity of hemorrhagic transformation. We found that post-acute ischemic stroke hyperglycemia serves as an independent predictor of severe hemorrhagic transformation. These findings suggest that post-acute ischemic stroke hyperglycemia can aggravate disruption of the blood-brain barrier by inhibiting mitochondrial transfer.

Abstract
Post-stroke hyperglycemia occurs in 30% - 60% of ischemic stroke patients as part of the systemic stress response, but neither clinical evidence nor pre-clinical studies indicate whether post-stroke hyperglycemia affects stroke outcome. Here we investigated this issue using a mouse model of permanent ischemia. Mice were maintained either normoglycemic or hyperglycemic during the interval of 17 - 48 hours after ischemia onset. Post-stroke hyperglycemia was found to increase infarct volume, blood-brain barrier disruption, and hemorrhage formation, and to impair motor recovery. Post-stroke hyperglycemia also increased superoxide formation by peri-infarct microglia/macrophages. In contrast, post-stroke hyperglycemia did not increase superoxide formation or exacerbate motor impairment in p47 phox-/- mice, which cannot form an active superoxide-producing NADPH oxidase-2 complex. These results suggest that hyperglycemia occurring hours-to-days after ischemia can increase oxidative stress in peri-infarct tissues by fueling NADPH oxidase activity in reactive microglia/macrophages, and by this mechanism contribute to worsened functional outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Early neurological deterioration (END) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS), patients is defined as clinical worsening or recurrence during first 72 h after onset of AIS. We have conducted this study to determine the association between END and functional outcome at 3 months of onset of AIS along with associated risk factors of END in AIS cases. METHODOLOGY This study was conducted after approval of Institute Ethics Committee. Two hundred three consecutive patients were admitted from September 2020 to January 2022 at a tertiary care hospital. One hundred ninety patients were included in the study; patients were divided into two groups: (1) early neurological deterioration (END) and (2) non-early neurological deterioration (non-END). Patients were followed-up either telephonically or in person at approximately 3 months using modified Rankin Scale 0-6. All the clinically significant prognostic markers and p < 0.10 variables were considered significant in univariate analysis; P < 0.05 were considered statistically significant for the multivariate analysis. RESULTS Out of 190 cases included in the cohort 34/190 (17.8%) cases showed END with mean age (56.56 (± 16.6)) and males (20/34 (58.8%)). END was independently associated with high blood glucose at admission (OR = 1.015; P = 0.002; 95%CI = 1.005-1.024) and low serum albumin (OR = 0.208; P = 0.002; 95%CI = 0.077-0.562). Patients with END showed poor functional outcome (mRS > 2) at end of 3 months (32 (94.1%); P < 0.001) and death was also statistically significant (22 (64.7%); P < 0.001) as compared to AIS cases having non-END. CONCLUSION Our study showed END may be associated with poor functional outcome in AIS patients. Higher blood glucose at admission and low serum albumin may be statistically significant causing END. Future prospective cohort with larger sample size may confirm the findings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetes and hyperglycemia are major risk factors that can increase infarction volume and contribute to poor functional status. Our study aim was to investigate the effect of stress hyperglycemia on various safety and efficacy outcomes in patients with large vessel occlusions (LVOs) undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT) with or without diabetes. METHODS A retrospective analysis of consecutive LVO patient data treated with MT at a Comprehensive Stroke Center in the Mid-South was conducted. Adult patients with LVO on computed tomography angiography (CTA) and treated with MT within 24 h of symptom onset were included. The primary outcome was to determine if there was an association in collateral flow or infarct size in the setting of hyperglycemia. Secondary outcomes included National Institute of Health Sciences Score (NIHSS) and Modified Rankin Score (mRS). RESULTS A total of 450 patients underwent MT, out of which 433 had baseline hemoglobin A1c recorded: mean age: 64 ± 15 years, 47% women, pretreatment NIHSS median 15 points (interquartile range 10-19), 323 (75%) with good collaterals grades >2 on multiphasic CTA, 326 (75%) were non-diabetic, and 107 (25%) were diabetic. Nondiabetics with stress hyperglycemia had a tendency toward higher pre-treatment NIHSS scores (mean 17.5 ± 7.6, P = 0.02) and at 24-h (12.9 ± 9.0, P = 0.02), poor collaterals (multiphasic CTA score ≥2; 21.4% vs. 34.5%, P = 0.02), larger infarct volumes (50.7 ± 63.6 vs. 24.4 ± 33.8 cc, P < 0.0001), and had poorer functional outcomes (good mRS 0-2 47.7% vs. good mRS 0-2 36.8%) when compared to nondiabetics without stress hyperglycemia. For every 1 mg/dL increase in admission blood glucose, there was a 0.3 cc increase in infarct volume (95% confidence intervals for β =0.2-0.4; P < 0.0001) after adjusting for the final thrombolysis in cerebral infarction score. CONCLUSIONS LVO patients with stress hyperglycemia without previously diagnosed diabetes had more severe strokes, developed larger infarct volumes, poorer collaterals, and had worse functional outcomes at 90 days post-MT. In addition, LVO patients with diabetes and stress hyperglycemia exhibited more passes during MT and worse functional outcomes.

Increased stress hyperglycemia ratio at hospital admission in stroke patients are associated with increased in-hospital mortality and length of stay. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2024; 16:69. [PMID: 38491539 PMCID: PMC10943784 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-024-01303-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recently, the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) has been introduced as a metric to signify relative hyperglycemia. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between SHR and in-hospital mortality and length of stay occurring during hospitalization in stroke patients. METHODS The retrospective cohort study comprised a total of 4,018 patients diagnosed with acute stroke. The SHR is expressed by the formula: SHR = ABG (mmol/L) / [1.59 × HbA1c (%) - 2.59]. Outcomes included in-hospital mortality and length of stay. Multivariable logistic and linear regression analyses were conducted. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to distinguish between the variables, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was compared. RESULTS In this analysis, a total of 4,018 individuals participated, including 2,814 male patients, accounting for 70.0%. Overall, in-hospital mortality and length of stay tended to rise as SHR increased. A higher prevalence of in-hospital mortality was observed with each standard deviation (SD) increase of the SHR (odds ratio [OR]: 1.26, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05-1.52). Moreover, after considering the confounders, a significant positive association between SHR levels and length of stay was observed (β = 0.70, 95% CI: 0.40-1.00). ROC analysis showed that among stroke patients, SHR (AUC = 0.693) was more effective than admission blood glucose (ABG) (AUC = 0.646) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (AUC = 0.523), which were more predictive of in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS Elevated SHR levels are associated with increased in-hospital mortality and prolonged length of stay in stroke patients.

Prognostic significance of the stress hyperglycemia ratio and admission blood glucose in diabetic and nondiabetic patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2024; 16:58. [PMID: 38438889 PMCID: PMC10910766 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-024-01293-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) on the prognosis of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in patients with different diabetic status has not been elucidated. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of SHR and admission blood glucose (ABG) for the short- and long-term mortality in diabetic and nondiabetic populations with ICH. METHOD Participants with ICH were retrospectively retrieved from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV). The primary outcome was all-cause 30-day and 1-year mortality. The association of SHR and ABG with the primary outcomes in diabetic and nondiabetic cohorts were assessed by Cox proportional hazard regression. RESULTS Overall, 1029 patients with a median age of 71.09 (IQR: 60.05-81.97) were included. Among them, 548 (53%) individuals were male, and 95 (19%) as well as 323 (31%) ones experienced the 30-day and 1-year mortality, respectively. After adjusting for confounding variables, individuals in quintile 5 of SHR had significantly higher risk of the 30-day and 1-year mortality than those in quintile 1 in the whole cohort (30-day mortality: HR 3.33, 95%CI 2.01-5.51; 1-year mortality: HR 2.09, 95% CI 1.46-3.00) and in nondiabetic patients (30-day mortality: HR 4.55, 95%CI 2.33-8.88; 1-year mortality: HR 3.06, 95%CI 1.93-4.86), but no significant difference was observed in diabetic patients. Similar results were observed for ABG as a categorical variable. As continuous variable, SHR was independently correlated with the 30-day and 1-year mortality in both of the diabetic and nondiabetic cohorts (30-day mortality: HR 2.63, 95%CI 1.50-4.60. 1-year mortality: HR 2.12, 95%CI 1.33-3.39), but this correlation was only observed in nondiabetic cohort for ABG (HR 1.00, 95%CI 0.99-1.01 for both of the 30-day and 1-year mortality). Moreover, compared with ABG, SHR can better improve the C-statistics of the original models regarding the 30-day and 1-year outcomes, especially in patients with diabetes (p < 0.001 in all models). CONCLUSION SHR might be a more useful and reliable marker than ABG for prognostic prediction and risk stratification in critically ill patients with ICH, especially in those with diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is commonly detected after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) and is associated with poor functional outcomes. However, the etiology and significance of DWI lesions remain unclear. Thus, our study aimed to explore the prevalence and risk factors of acute ischemic lesions in sICH and discussed the possible mechanisms. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of a consecutive cohort of 408 patients from June 2013 to October 2019 with sICH, who had brain computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 14 days of symptoms onset. Acute ischemic lesions were assessed on MRI using DWI lesions. We compared the clinical and imaging characteristics of patients with and without DWI lesions. The data were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS Among the enrolled 408 patients, the mean age was 56.8 ± 14.5 years, 68 (16.7%) of them had been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM). DWI lesions were observed in 89 (21.8%) patients, and most of them had a history of lacunar infarctions, which were located in cortical or subcortical. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, DM (odds ratio (OR) 3.962, p <0.001), severe deep white matter hypertensities (DWMH) (OR 2.463, p =0.001) and severe centrum semiovale enlarged perivascular spaces (CSO-EPVS) (OR 2.679, p =0.001) were independently associated with the presence of DWI lesions. CONCLUSION In our cohort, we found DM, severe DWMH and severe CSO-EPVS were the independent risk factors in sICH patients with DWI lesions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Functional and morphologic changes in extracranial organs can occur after acute brain injury. The neuroanatomic correlates of such changes are not fully known. Herein, we tested the hypothesis that brain infarcts are associated with cardiac and systemic abnormalities (CSAs) in a regionally specific manner. METHODS We generated voxelwise p value maps of brain infarcts for poststroke plasma cardiac troponin T (cTnT) elevation, QTc prolongation, in-hospital infection, and acute stress hyperglycemia (ASH) in 1,208 acute ischemic stroke patients prospectively recruited into the Heart-Brain Interactions Study. We examined the relationship between infarct location and CSAs using a permutation-based approach and identified clusters of contiguous voxels associated with p < 0.05. RESULTS cTnT elevation not attributable to a known cardiac reason was detected in 5.5%, QTc prolongation in the absence of a known provoker in 21.2%, ASH in 33.9%, and poststroke infection in 13.6%. We identified significant, spatially segregated voxel clusters for each CSA. The clusters for troponin elevation and QTc prolongation mapped to the right hemisphere. There were 3 clusters for ASH, the largest of which was in the left hemisphere. We found 2 clusters for poststroke infection, one associated with pneumonia in the left and one with urinary tract infection in the right hemisphere. The relationship between infarct location and CSAs persisted after adjusting for infarct volume. INTERPRETATION Our results show that there are discrete regions of brain infarcts associated with CSAs. This information could be used to bootstrap toward new markers for better differentiation between neurogenic and non-neurogenic mechanisms of poststroke CSAs. ANN NEUROL 2023;94:1155-1163.

Abstract
Background Prognostic prediction and the identification of prognostic factors are critical during the early period of atrial-fibrillation (AF)-related strokes as AF is associated with poor outcomes in stroke patients. Methods Two independent datasets, namely, the Korean Atrial Fibrillation Evaluation Registry in Ischemic Stroke Patients (K-ATTENTION) and the Korea University Stroke Registry (KUSR), were used for internal and external validation, respectively. These datasets include common variables such as demographic, laboratory, and imaging findings during early hospitalization. Outcomes were unfavorable functional status with modified Rankin scores of 3 or higher and mortality at 3 months. We developed two machine learning models, namely, a tree-based model and a multi-layer perceptron (MLP), along with a baseline logistic regression model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was used as the outcome metric. The Shapley additive explanation (SHAP) method was used to evaluate the contributions of variables. Results Machine learning models outperformed logistic regression in predicting both outcomes. For 3-month unfavorable outcomes, MLP exhibited significantly higher AUROC values of 0.890 and 0.859 in internal and external validation sets, respectively, than those of logistic regression. For 3-month mortality, both machine learning models exhibited significantly higher AUROC values than the logistic regression for internal validation but not for external validation. The most significant predictor for both outcomes was the initial National Institute of Health and Stroke Scale. Conclusion The explainable machine learning model can reliably predict short-term outcomes and identify high-risk patients with AF-related strokes.

Abstract
Obesity increases the risk for stroke and is associated with worse post-stroke outcomes; however, the mechanisms are poorly understood. Diet-induced obesity leads to insulin resistance and subsequently, brain insulin deficiency. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential impact of brain insulin deficiency on post-stroke outcomes. To accomplish this, brain insulin levels were assessed in male C57BL/6J (B6) mice placed on either a standard diet or 54% kcal high-fat diet, a known model of insulin resistance. Mice were subjected to either a sham surgery (control) or 30-min middle cerebral artery occlusion to induce an ischemic stroke and administered either intranasal saline (0.9%) or intranasal insulin (1.75 U) twice daily for 5 days beginning on day 1 post-stroke. High-fat diet-induced brain insulin deficiency was associated with increased mortality, neurological and cognitive deficits. On the other hand, increasing brain insulin levels via intranasal insulin improved survival, neurological and cognitive function in high-fat diet mice. Our data suggests that brain insulin deficiency correlates with worse post-stroke outcomes in a diet-induced mouse model of insulin resistance and increasing brain insulin levels may be a therapeutic target to improve stroke recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinically significant changes in neurological deficits frequently occur after stroke onset, reflecting further neurological injury or neurological improvement. However, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score is only evaluated once in most studies, usually at stroke onset. Utilizing repeated measures of NIHSS scores to identify different trajectories of neurological function may be more informative and provide more useful predictive information. We determined the association of neurological function trajectories with long-term clinical outcomes after ischemic stroke. METHODS A total of 4025 participants with ischemic stroke from the China Antihypertensive Trial in Acute Ischemic Stroke were included. Patients were recruited from 26 hospitals across China between August 2009 and May 2013. A group-based trajectory model was used to identify distinct neurological function trajectories, as measured by NIHSS at admission, 14 days or hospital discharge, and 3 months. Study outcomes were cardiovascular events, recurrent stroke, and all-cause mortality during 3-24 months after ischemic stroke onset. Cox proportional hazards models were used to examine the associations of neurological function trajectories with outcomes. RESULTS We identified three distinct subgroups of NIHSS trajectories: persistent severe (persistent high NIHSS scores during the 3-month follow-up), moderate (NIHSS scores started at around 5 and gradually reduced), and mild (NIHSS scores always below 2). The three trajectory groups had different clinical profiles and different risk of stroke outcomes at 24-month follow-up. Compared to the mild trajectory group, patients in the persistent severe trajectory group had a higher risk of cardiovascular events (multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) = 1.77 (1.10-2.86)), recurrent stroke (1.82 (1.10-3.00)), and all-cause mortality (5.64 (3.37-9.43)). Those with moderate trajectory had an intermediate risk: 1.45 (1.03-2.04) for cardiovascular events and 1.52 (1.06-2.19) for recurrent stroke. CONCLUSION Longitudinal neurological function trajectories derived from repeated NIHSS measurements during the first 3 months after stroke provide additional predictive information and are associated with long-term clinical outcomes. The trajectories characterized by persistent severe and moderate neurological impairment were associated with increased risk of subsequent cardiovascular events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between admission glucose levels and clinical outcomes after stroke has not been effectively elucidated. This study assessed the association among admission glucose levels, admission hyperglycemia, diabetes mellitus, and 90-day neurological outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing endovascular therapy. METHODS The ANGEL-ACT registry enrolled adults with acute ischemic stroke undergoing endovascular therapy between 2017 and 2019 in China and patients with available admission glucose data were included. Restricted cubic spline regression was used to determine the knots of blood glucose levels. Binary or ordinal logistic regression models were used to examine the impact of different admission glucose levels on neurological outcomes and 90-day mortality. RESULTS In total, 1684 participants with available admission glucose concentrations were evaluated. The admission glucose level was divided into 4 levels according to the restricted cubic spline curves: level 1 (<5.3 mmol/L), level 2 (5.3 to 7.0 mmol/L), level 3 (7.0 to 11.6 mmol/L), and level 4 (≥11.6 mmol/L). Level 4 admission glucose was associated with a decreased incidence of a modified Rankin scale score of 0 to 2 (hazard ratio, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.40-0.87) and an increased risk of mortality (hazard ratio, 1.74; 95% CI, 1.06-2.85). Levels 3 and 4, hyperglycemia, and diabetes mellitus independently predicted symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH). Admission glucose levels showed J-shaped relationships with sICH. CONCLUSIONS Higher admission glucose levels (≥11.6 mmol/L) were associated with a decreased likelihood of a modified Rankin scale score of 0 to 2 and an increased risk of mortality and sICH.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hyperglycemia in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is frequent and associated with worse outcome. Yet, strict glycemic control in AIS patients has failed to yield beneficial outcome. So far, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of admission hyperglycemia in AIS have remained not fully understood. We aimed to evaluate the yet equivocal association of hyperglycemia with computed tomographic perfusion (CTP) deficit volumes. PATIENTS AND METHODS We included 832 consecutive AIS and transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients who underwent CTP as a part of screening for recanalization treatment (stroke code) between 3/2018 and 10/2020, from the prospective cohort of Helsinki Stroke Quality Registry. Associations of admission glucose level (AGL) and CTP deficit volumes, namely ischemic core, defined as relative cerebral blood flow <30%, and hypoperfusion lesions Time-to-maximum (Tmax) >6 s and Tmax >10s, as determined with RAPID® software, were analyzed with a linear regression model adjusted for age, sex, C-reactive protein, and time from symptom onset to imaging. RESULTS AGL median was 6.8 mmol/L (interquartile range 5.9-8.0 mmol/L), and 222 (27%) patients were hyperglycemic (glucose >7.8 mmol/L) on admission. In non-diabetic patients (643 [77%]), AGL was significantly associated with volume of Tmax. >6 s (regression coefficient [RC] 4.8, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.49-9.1), of Tmax >10s (RC 4.6, 95% CI 1.2-8.1), and of ischemic core (RC 2.6, 95% CI 0.64-4.6). No significant associations were shown in diabetic patients. CONCLUSION Admission hyperglycemia appears to be associated with both larger volume of hypoperfusion lesions and of ischemic core in non-diabetic stroke code patients with AIS and TIA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hyperglycemia is common in acute ischemic stroke and is associated with larger infarct volume and unfavorable functional outcome, also in patients who undergo reperfusion therapy. Hyperglycemia during reperfusion may be a therapeutic target. However, previous randomized trials on the effect of glucose lowering in the acute phase of ischemic stroke failed to demonstrate effects on clinical outcome. Inaccurate glucose measurements and not focussing on patients who undergo reperfusion therapy are possible explanations. Our aim was to study the feasibility and accuracy of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing endovascular treatment (EVT). METHODS All consecutive patients with ischemic stroke and large vessel occlusion (LVO) of the anterior circulation who were eligible for endovascular therapy within 24 hours of symptom onset and presenting at the emergency department of Isala Hospital Zwolle, the Netherlands, were enrolled in this study. CGM was performed using a Freestyle Libre Flash 2 device (FSL-CGM, Abbot Diabetes Care, Alameda, California, USA) which was implanted on arrival at the emergency department. Feasibility was defined as the number of patients who could be registered for 24 hours and delay in door-to-groin time because of sensor implantation. Accuracy of CGM versus capillary and venous based plasma glucose values was determined with the Parkes error grid analysis. RESULTS Twenty-three patients were included of whom 20 completed 24 hours monitoring (87%). One patient did not give permission to use the data; one sensor broke during implantation and one meter was broken after a sensor was shot in so no measurements could be recorded. There was no significant delay in treatment due to implantation of the sensor and no adverse events. One hundred percent of CGM data are in zones A and B of the Parkes error grid analysis so data out of the sensor can be interpreted as accurate. CONCLUSION In this study, we showed that continuous glucose monitoring in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion of the anterior circulation in patients who were treated with endovascular therapy is feasible, safe and accurate.

Abstract
AIMS Whether admission hyperglycemia is differentially associated with early vascular outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) depending on stroke subtype has been incompletely delineated. METHODS In a multicenter, prospective stroke registry, patients with AIS were categorized based on admission glucose levels into normoglycemia, moderate hyperglycemia, and severe hyperglycemia (<140mg/dl, 140-179mg/dl, and ≥180mg/dl, respectively) groups. Multivariate analysis assessed the interaction between the hyperglycemia and ischemic stroke subtypes of large artery atherothrombosis (LAA), cardioembolism (CE), and small vessel occlusion (SVO) and early vascular outcomes (3-month stroke, all-cause mortality, and composite of stroke, MI, and all-cause mortality). RESULTS Among the 32,772 patients (age:69.0±12.6yrs, male:58.4%) meeting eligibility criteria, 61.9% were in the normoglycemia group, 19.5% were in the moderate hyperglycemia group, and 18.7% were in the severe hyperglycemia group. Substantial interactions between hyperglycemia groups and stroke subtypes were observed for 3-month stroke (Pinteraction = 0.003) and composite of stroke, MI, and all-cause mortality (Pinteraction = 0.001), with differential recurrence strongest among CE, intermediate among LAA, and least among SVO. CONCLUSIONS Hyperglycemia was differently associated with the risk of 3-month stroke by ischemic stroke subtype. The associations of hyperglycemia with 3-month stroke were greatest in CE subtype but not in SVO subtype. These results suggest that the effect of glucose-lowering treatment after AIS may differ according to stroke subtype.

Abstract
Background and Purpose Hyperglycemia has been associated with unfavorable outcome of acute ischemic stroke, but this association has not been verified in patients with endovascular thrombectomy treatment. This study aimed to assess the impact of stress hyperglycemia ratio on early neurological deterioration and favorable outcome after thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods Stroke patients with endovascular thrombectomy in two comprehensive centers were enrolled. Early neurological deterioration was defined as ≥4 points increase of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at 24 hours after endovascular procedure. Favorable outcome was defined as modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0-2 at 90 days of stroke onset. Multivariate regression analysis was used to identify the predictors for early neurological deterioration and favorable outcome. Results Among the 559 enrolled, 74 (13.2%) patients developed early neurological deterioration. The predictors for early neurological deterioration were high stress hyperglycemia ratio at baseline (OR =5.77; 95% CI, 1.878-17.742; P =0.002), symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (OR =4.90; 95% CI, 2.439-9.835; P <0.001) and high NIHSS score after 24 hours (OR =1.11; 95% CI, 1.071-1.151; P <0.001). The predictors for favorable outcome were stress hyperglycemia ratio (OR =0.196, 95% CI, 0.077-0.502; P =0.001), age (OR =0.942, 95% CI, 0.909-0.977; P =0.001), NIHSS score 24 hours after onset (OR =0.757, 95% CI =0.693-0.827; P <0.001), groin puncture to recanalization time (OR =0.987, 95% CI, 0.975-0.998; P =0.025), poor collateral status before treatment (ASITN/SIR grade 0-3, OR =62.017, 95% CI, 25.920-148.382; P <0.001), successful recanalization (mTICI 2b or 3, OR =7.415, 95% CI, 1.942-28.313; P =0.001). Conclusion High stress hyperglycemia ratio may be related to early neurological deterioration and decreased likelihood of favourable outcomes after endovascular thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

[PMID: 36688168 PMCID: PMC9849891 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2022.1071377] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2022] [Accepted: 12/14/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and purpose Stress hyperglycemia is common in critical and severe diseases. However, few studies have examined the association between stress hyperglycemia and the functional outcomes of patients with anterior circulation stroke, after mechanical thrombectomy (MT), in different diabetes status. This study therefore aimed to determine the relationship between stress hyperglycemia and the risk of adverse neurological functional outcomes in anterior circulation stroke patients with and without diabetes after MT. Methods Data of 408 patients with acute anterior circulation stroke treated with MT through the green-channel treatment system for emergency stroke at the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University between January 2016 and December 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) was calculated as fasting plasma glucose (mmol/L) divided by glycosylated hemoglobin (%). The patients were stratified into four groups by quartiles of SHR (Q1-Q4). The primary outcome was an excellent (nondisabled) functional outcome at 3 months after admission (modified Rankin Scale score of 0-1). The relationship between stress hyperglycemia and neurological outcome after stroke was assessed using multivariate logistic regression. Results After adjusting for potential confounders, compared with patients in Q1, those in Q4 were less likely to have an excellent outcome at 3 months (odds ratio [OR], 0.32, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.14-0.66, p = 0.003), a good outcome at 3 months (OR, 0.41, 95% CI, 0.20-0.84, p = 0.020), and major neurological improvement (OR, 0.38, 95% CI, 0.19-0.73, p = 0.004). Severe stress hyperglycemia increased risks of 3-months all-cause mortality (OR, 2.82, 95% CI, 1.09-8.29, p = 0.041) and ICH (OR, 2.54, 95% CI, 1.21-5.50, p = 0.015). Conclusion Stress hyperglycemia was associated with a reduced rate of excellent neurological outcomes, and increased mortality and ICH risks in patients with anterior circulation stroke after MT regardless of diabetes status.

A review of stress-induced hyperglycaemia in the context of acute ischaemic stroke: Definition, underlying mechanisms, and the status of insulin therapy. Front Neurol 2023; 14:1149671. [PMID: 37025208 PMCID: PMC10070880 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2023.1149671] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023] Open
Abstract
The transient elevation of blood glucose produced following acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) has been described as stress-induced hyperglycaemia (SIH). SIH is common even in patients with AIS who have no previous diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Elevated blood glucose levels during admission and hospitalization are strongly associated with enlarged infarct size and adverse prognosis in AIS patients. However, insulin-intensive glucose control therapy defined by admission blood glucose for SIH has not achieved the desired results, and new treatment ideas are urgently required. First, we explore the various definitions of SIH in the context of AIS and their predictive value in adverse outcomes. Then, we briefly discuss the mechanisms by which SIH arises, describing the dual effects of elevated glucose levels on the central nervous system. Finally, although preclinical studies support lowering blood glucose levels using insulin, the clinical outcomes of intensive glucose control are not promising. We discuss the reasons for this phenomenon.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parenchymal hemorrhage (PH) is a troublesome complication after endovascular treatment (EVT). OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence, independent predictors, and clinical impact of PH after EVT in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (LVO). METHODS Subjects were selected from the ANGEL-ACT Registry. PH was diagnosed according to the European Collaborative Acute Stroke Study classification. Logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the independent predictors of PH, as well as the association between PH and 90-day functional outcome assessed by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score. RESULTS Of the 1227 enrolled patients, 147 (12.0%) were diagnosed with PH within 12-36 hours after EVT. On multivariable analysis, low admission Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score (ASPECTS)(adjusted OR (aOR)=1.13, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.26, p=0.020), serum glucose >7 mmol/L (aOR=1.82, 95% CI 1.16 to 2.84, p=0.009), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR; aOR=1.05, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.09, p=0.005) were associated with a high risk of PH, while underlying intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS; aOR=0.42, 95% CI 0.22 to 0.81, p=0.009) and intracranial angioplasty/stenting (aOR=0.37, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.93, p=0.035) were associated with a low risk of PH. Furthermore, patients with PH were associated with a shift towards to worse functional outcome (mRS score 4 vs 3, adjusted common OR (acOR)=2.27, 95% CI 1.53 to 3.38, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS In Chinese patients with AIS caused by anterior circulation LVO, the risk of PH was positively associated with low admission ASPECTS, serum glucose >7 mmol/L, and NLR, but negatively related to underlying ICAS and intracranial angioplasty/stenting.

Abstract
Acute hyperglycemia is a powerful indicator of the severity of acute ischemic stroke (AIS); however, the relationship between these two factors is not very clear in patients with diabetes. We aimed to retrospectively evaluate data from 335 consecutive patients who experienced AIS from November 2015 to November 2016 to investigate whether a comprehensive assessment of blood glucose levels is a more valuable indicator of the severity of AIS or the presence of acute hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes. We collected demographic data, clinical manifestation information, clinical scores, and laboratory data [including fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels]. We estimated prehospital mean blood glucose concentrations using the following formula [1.59 * HbA1c (%) – 2.59] to calculate the “Acute-to-Chronic Glycemic Ratio” (AC ratio). The AC ratio differed significantly among patients grouped according to the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale/Score (NIHSS) at admission (admission NIHSS) (p = 0.006). Univariate regression analysis revealed a correlation between the AC ratio and admission NIHSS [standardized β-coefficient (Std. B) = 0.164, p = 0.004]. The adjusted linear regression analysis revealed a correlation between both HbA1c (Std. B = 0.368, p = 0.038) and the AC ratio (Std. B = 0.262, p = 0.022) and admission NIHSS. The AC ratio (Std. B = 0.161, p = 0.012) was related to admission NIHSS in the stepwise variable selection. For an admission NIHHS > 4, the AC ratio (Std. B = 0.186, p = 0.047) was related to admission NIHSS in the stepwise variable selection. The AC ratio (Std. B = 1.163, p = 0.006 and Std. B = 0.565, p = 0.021, respectively) were related to admission NIHSS in both large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA) and small-vessel occlusion (SVO) subgroups. Thus, the AC ratio is related to admission NIHSS in patients with diabetes who experienced AIS and may be a better indicator of severity than acute blood glucose levels.

Abstract
Hyperglycaemia, hypoglycaemia and higher glucose variability during the Early Brain Injury (EBI) period of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) have been associated with poor clinical outcome. However, it is unclear whether these associations are due to direct glucose-driven injury or if hyperglycaemia simply acts as a marker of initial severity. Actually, strict glucose control with intensive insulin therapy has not been demonstrated as an effective strategy for improving clinical outcomes after aSAH. Currently published studies describing an association between hyperglycaemia and prognosis in aSAH patients have been based on isolated glucose measurements and did not incorporate comprehensive dynamic evaluations, such as those derived from subcutaneous continuous glucose monitoring devices (CMG). Arguably, a more accurate knowledge on glycaemic patterns during the acute phase of aSAH could increase our understanding of the relevance of glycaemia as a prognostic factor in this disease as well as to underpin its contribution to secondary focal and diffuse brain injury. Herein, we have summarized the available evidence on the diagnostic and prognostic relevance of glucose metrics during the acute phase of cerebrovascular diseases, focusing in the EBI period after aSAH. Overall, obtaining a more precise scope of acute longitudinal glucose profiles could eventually be useful for improving glucose management protocols in the setting of acute aSAH and to advance toward a more personalized management of aSAH patients during the EBI phase.

Abstract
Objective Stress hyperglycemia (SH) is common in patients with acute diseases, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is calculated by glucose/glycated hemoglobin and has been widely used for evaluating SH. But whether SHR is associated with clinical outcomes in stroke patients remains unclear so far. Although many studies have shown that higher SHR means poor outcomes, there is still no absolute evidence that SHR plays a critical role in stroke patients. Hence, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis aiming to investigate the association between SHR and clinical outcomes in stroke patients. Methods We performed a comprehensive literature search of the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library databases, Clinicaltrials.gov, and WHO-ICTRP. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), we performed our study. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) tool was used to examine the potential bias of included studies. The endpoints including poor outcome, mortality, neurological deficit, hemorrhagic transformation (HT), and infectious complications were statistically analyzed. Results Sixteen retrospective studies met the eligibility criteria, and a number of 183,588 patients were included. Our meta-analysis demonstrated a significant increase in the incidence of poor outcome, according to assessment by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ≥ 3 points [odds ratio (OR) 2.53, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.99-3.22, P < 0.00001, I 2 = 68%], mortality (OR 1.96, 95% CI 1.58-2.44, P < 0.00001, I 2 = 61%), neurological deficit (OR 1.99, 95% CI 1.47-2.70, P < 0.00001, I 2 = 75%), hemorrhagic transformation (HT) (OR 3.70, 95% CI 2.69-5.08, P < 0.00001, I 2 = 0%), and infectious complications [(Pneumonia) OR 2.06, 95% CI 1.57-2.72, P < 0.00001, I 2 = 24%; (Urinary tract infection) OR 2.53, 95% CI 1.45-4.42, P = 0.001, I 2 = 57%] in stroke patients with higher SHR. However, no significant influence was observed for recanalization rate (OR 0.86, 95% CI 0.54-1.38, P = 0.53, I 2 = 0%). Conclusion With or without diabetes, no matter whether undergoing intravenous thrombolysis or mechanical thrombectomy, higher SHR significantly increased the occurrence of poor outcomes, mortality, neurological deficit, HT, and infectious complications. The recanalization rate was not statistically significant between the two groups. More attention must be paid in clinical practice to SH. Future investigation should focus on the diagnostic value of SHR and the early control of hyperglycemia. Meanwhile, whether SHR could become a novel and promising target for early intervention is worthy of attention in further research. Besides, the influence of the dynamic change of glucose-to-HbA1c ratio, namely SHR, on intracerebral hemorrhage outcomes requires further investigation in future research. Although no randomized double-blind studies have been conducted, the available massive sample studies reflect the actual situation in the clinic and assist clinical decision makers.

The Role of Nondiabetic Hyperglycemia in Critically Ill Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11175116. [PMID: 36079047 PMCID: PMC9456679 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11175116] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2022] [Revised: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, we aim to elucidate the association between nondiabetic hyperglycemia and the short-term prognosis of critically ill patients with acute ischemic stroke. We extracted data using the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV from 2008 to 2019. The primary outcomes were set as intensive care units (ICU) and in-hospital mortality. We developed a Cox proportional hazards model to determine the nonlinear association between serum glucose levels and primary outcomes. Of the 1086 patients included, 236 patients had hyperglycemia. Patients with hyperglycemia were associated with higher ages, female gender, higher Charlson Comorbidity Index scores, and higher Acute Physiology Score III scores. After propensity score matching, 222 pairs remained. The hyperglycemia group had a significantly higher ICU mortality (17.6% vs. 10.8%; p = 0.041). Meanwhile, no significant differences in ICU length of stay (5.2 vs. 5.2; p = 0.910), in-hospital mortality (26.6% vs. 18.9%, p = 0.054), and hospital length of stay (10.0 vs. 9.1; p = 0.404) were observed between the two groups. The Kaplan–Meier curves for ICU and in-hospital survival before matching suggested significant differences; however, after matching, they failed to prove any disparity. Non-diabetic patients with acute ischemic stroke have poor clinical characteristic while encountering hyperglycemic events; therefore, careful monitoring in the acute phase is still required.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hyperglycemia is highly prevalent in patients with acute ischemic stroke and is associated with increased risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, larger infarct size and unfavorable outcome. Furthermore, glucose may modify the effect of endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with ischemic stroke. Hyperglycemia might lead to accelerated conversion of penumbra into infarct core. However, it remains uncertain whether hyperglycemia on admission is associated with the size of penumbra or infarct core in acute ischemic stroke. In this study, we aimed to assess the association between hyperglycemia and Computed Tomographic Perfusion (CTP) derived parameters in patients who underwent EVT for acute ischemic stroke. METHODS We used data from the MR CLEAN study (Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands). Hyperglycemia was defined as admission serum glucose of >7.8 mmol/L. Dichotomized and quantiles of glucose levels were related to size of core, penumbra and core penumbra ratio. Hypoperfused area is mean transient time 45% higher than that of the contralateral hemisphere. Core is the area with cerebral blood volume of <2 mL/100 g and penumbra is the area with cerebral blood volume > 2 mL/100 g. Core-penumbra ratio is the ischemic core divided by the total volume of hypoperfused tissue (core plus penumbra) multiplied by 100. Adjustments were made for age, sex, NIHSS on admission, onset-imaging time and diabetes mellitus. RESULTS Hundred seventy-three patients were included. Median glucose level on admission was 6.5 mmol/L (IQR 5.8-7.5 mmol/L) and thirty-five patients (20%) were hyperglycemic. Median core volume was 33.3 mL (IQR 13.6-62.4 mL), median penumbra volume was 80.2 mL (IQR 36.3-123.5 mL) and median core-penumbra ratio was 28.5% (IQR 18.6-45.8%). Patients with hyperglycemia on admission had larger core volumes and core penumbra ratio than normoglycemic patients with a regression coefficient of 15.1 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.8 to 28.3) and 11.5 (95% confidence interval (CI), 3.4 to 19.7) respectively. CONCLUSION Hyperglycemia on admission was associated with larger ischemic core volume and larger core-penumbra ratio in patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent endovascular treatment.

Fasting blood glucose-to-glycated hemoglobin ratio and all-cause mortality among Chinese in-hospital patients with acute stroke: a 12-month follow-up study. BMC Geriatr 2022; 22:508. [PMID: 35725369 PMCID: PMC9210760 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-022-03203-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2022] [Accepted: 06/10/2022] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke is a leading cause of death and functional impairment in older people. To assess the prospective association between fasting blood glucose-to-glycated hemoglobin ratio and all-cause mortality and poor prognosis in stroke patients. METHODS A total of 971 Chinese inpatients with acute stroke (mean age of 65.7) were consecutively enrolled in the prospective clinical study and followed up for 12 months after discharge. Stress hyperglycemia was measured using the ratio of fasting blood glucose (FBG, mmol/L)/glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c, %). The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, and secondary outcomes were poor prognosis defined as infectious complications, a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≥ 6, a Barthel Index score ≤ 60, or a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 3-6, presented as multivariate-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) across the quartiles of the FBG/HbA1c ratio. RESULTS There were 35 (4.1%) all-cause deaths at 3 months and 85 (11.4%) at 12 months. The inpatients with the highest quartile of the FBG/HbA1c ratio had a higher risk of all-cause death at 3 months (adjusted OR: 5.16, 95% CI: 1.03-25.74) and at 12 months (adjusted OR: 2.59, 95% CI: 1.14-5.89)) and a higher risk of infectious complications (adjusted OR 2.37, 95% CI 1.27-4.43) and dysfunction (adjusted OR 1.79, 95% CI 1.06-3.01) during hospitalization than inpatients with the lowest quartile. CONCLUSIONS Stress hyperglycemia, measured by the FBG/HbA1c ratio, was associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes, including all-cause death, infectious complications, and dysfunction after stroke.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to assess the association of diabetes mellitus (DM) and admission hyperglycaemia (AH) respectively and outcome in patients with acute ischaemic stroke with large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation treated with endovascular therapy (EVT) in daily clinical practice. METHODS Consecutive EVT patients admitted to our stroke centre between 02/2015-04/2020 were included in this observational cohort study. Patients with vs. without DM and with vs. without AH≥7.8mmol/l were compared. RESULTS We included 1020 patients (48.9% women, median age 73.1 years). 282 (27.6%) and 226 (22.2%) had DM and/or AH. Patients with vs. without DM showed less often successful reperfusion (adjusted OR=0.61;p=0.023) and worse 3-month functional outcome (mRS:0-2:31.3% vs. 48%;adjusted OR=0.59;p=0.004, death:38.9% vs. 24.1%;adjusted OR=1.75;p=0.002 and mRS-shift:adjusted p<0.0001, if moderate/good collaterals and mismatch:mRS:0-2:adjusted OR=0.52;p=0.005, death:adjusted OR=1.95;p=0.005). If analysis was adjusted for AH additionally, only mRS-shift was still significantly worse in patients with DM (adjusted p=0.012). Patients with vs. without AH showed similar successful reperfusion rates and worse 3-month functional outcome (mRS:0-2:28.3% vs. 50.4%;adjusted OR=0.52;p<0.0001, death:40.4% vs. 22.4%;adjusted OR=1.80;p=0.001 and mRS-shift:adjusted p<0.0001, if moderate/good collaterals and mismatch:mRS:0-2:adjusted OR=0.38;p<0.0001, death:adjusted OR=2.39;p<0.0001). If analysis was adjusted for DM additionally, 3-month functional outcome remained significantly worse in patients with AH (mRS:0-2:adjusted OR=0.58;p=0.004, death:adjusted OR=1.57;p=0.014 and mRS-shift:adjusted p=0.004). DM independently predicted recurrent/progressive in-hospital ischaemic stroke (OR=1.71;p=0.043) together with admission NIHSS score (OR=0.95;p=0.005) and AH independently predicted in-hospital symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage (OR=2.21;p=0.001). The association of admission continuous glucose levels and most outcome variables was (inversely) J-shaped. CONCLUSIONS AH more than DM was associated with worse 3-month outcome in the patients studied - more likely so in case of moderate/good collaterals and mismatch in admission imaging.

Front Neurol 2022; 13:870872. [PMID: 35645975 PMCID: PMC9136409 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.870872] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Purpose It has been widely reported that stress hyperglycemia contributes to poor prognosis in patients experiencing acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, its predictive value for early neurological deterioration (END) after intravenous administration of recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (IV-rtPA) in AIS patients is still unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of stress hyperglycemia on the risk of END after IV-rtPA. Methods A total of 798 consecutive patients treated with IV-rtPA were included in this study. The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) was calculated as fasting plasma glucose level at admission (mg/dl)/glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc) (%). END was defined as a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale Score (NIHSS) ≥ 4 points 24 h after IV-rtPA, and poor functional outcome at discharge was defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 3–6 at discharge. Patients with a prior history of diabetes or HbAlc ≥ 6.5% were considered to have diabetes mellitus. Patients were grouped according to SHR values. Multivariate logistical regression was used to evaluate the risk of END for patients within specific SHR categories. Results In total, 139 (17.4%) patients had END. After adjusting for confounders, the highest tertile group had higher risks of END and poor functional outcome at discharge than those of patients in the lowest tertile group (OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.21–3.15; p = 0.006) (OR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.163–2.941; p = 0.009), and the predictive value of high SHR for END was also significant in patients with diabetes mellitus (OR, 3.05; 95% CI, 1.29–7.21; p = 0.011). However, a significant association of high SHR and poor functional outcome was only found in patients without diabetes (OR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.002–3.399; p = 0.045). Conclusion A higher SHR predicted that patients with severe stress hyperglycemia had higher risks of END and poor functional outcome at discharge after IV-rtPA.

Abstract
Background To develop and validate a machine learning model for predicting subsequent vascular events (SVE) 6 months after mild ischemic stroke (MIS) in Chinese patients. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 495 newly diagnosed MIS patients by collecting their basic information, past medical history, initial NIHSS score, symptoms, obstruction sites of MIS, and MRI results. According to the ratio of 7:3, the dataset was divided into a training set (n=346) and a testing set (n=149) through stratified random sampling. In the training set, the recursive feature elimination (RFE) was used to select the optimal combination of features, and two machine learning algorithms, including the logistic regression (LR) and support vector machines (SVM), were used to build the prediction model, which was further validated by using 5-fold cross-validation. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used on the testing set to evaluate the model’s performance, and the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were calculated. The calibration curve and decision curve of the two models were further compared. Results SVE occurred in 56 cases (11.3%) of 495 patients with MIS during the 6-month follow-up. Finally, the best 15 predictive features were selected, and the top three predictive features were diabetes, posterior cerebral artery lesion, and fasting blood glucose in order. In the testing set, the AUC of the LR model was 0.929 (95% CI: 0.875–0.964), and its accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.832, 0.765, and 0.841, respectively. The AUC of the SVM model was 0.992 (95% CI: 0.962–1.000), and its accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.966, 0.824, and 0.985, respectively. The SVM model’s discrimination, calibration, and clinical validity are better than those of the LR model. Conclusion The predictive models developed using machine learning methods can predict the risk of SVE after 6 months following MIS in Chinese patients.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus and associated chronic hyperglycemia enhance the risk of acute ischemic stroke and lead to worsened clinical outcome and increased mortality. However, post-stroke hyperglycemia is also present in a number of non-diabetic patients after acute ischemic stroke, presumably as a stress response. The aim of this review is to summarize the main effects of hyperglycemia when associated to ischemic injury in acute stroke patients, highlighting the clinical and neurological outcomes in these conditions and after the administration of the currently approved pharmacological treatment, i.e. insulin. The disappointing results of the clinical trials on insulin (including the hypoglycemic events) demand a change of strategy based on more focused therapies. Starting from the comprehensive evaluation of the physiopathological alterations occurring in the ischemic brain during hyperglycemic conditions, the effects of various classes of glucose-lowering drugs are reviewed, such as glucose-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, DPP-4 inhibitors and sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, in the perspective of overcoming the up-to-date limitations and of evaluating the effectiveness of new potential therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Background and Objective Stress hyperglycemia may occur in diabetic patients with acute severe cerebrovascular disease, but the results regarding its association with stroke outcomes are conflicting. This study aimed to examine the association between stress‐induced hyperglycemia and the occurrence of in‐hospital death in patients with diabetes and acute ischemic stroke. Research Design and Methods All data were from the Chinese Stroke Center Alliance (CSCA) database and were collected between 2016 and 2018 from >300 centers across China. Patients’ demographics, clinical presentation, and laboratory data were extracted from the database. The primary endpoint was in‐hospital death. The ratio of fasting blood glucose (FBG) to HbA1c was calculated, that is, the stress‐induced hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), to determine stress hyperglycemia following acute ischemic stroke. Results A total of 168,381 patients were included. The mean age was 66.2 ± 10.7, and 77,688 (43.0%) patients were female. The patients were divided into two groups: survivors (n = 167,499) and non‐survivors (n = 882), as well as into four groups according to their SHR quartiles (n = 42,090–42,099/quartile). There were 109 (0.26%), 142 (0.34%), 196 (0.47%), and 435 (1.03%) patients who died in the Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 quartiles, respectively. Compared with Q1 patients, the death risk was higher in Q4 patients (odds ratio (OR) = 4.02) (adjusted OR = 1.80, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.10–2.92, p = 0.018 after adjustment for traditional cardiovascular risk factors). The ROC analyses showed that SHR (AUC = 0.667, 95% CI: 0.647–0.686) had a better predictive value for mortality than that of fasting blood glucose (AUC = 0.633, 95% CI: 0.613–0.652) and HbA1c (AUC = 0.523, 95% CI: 0.504–0.543). Conclusions The SHR may serve as an accessory parameter for the prognosis of patients with diabetes after acute ischemic stroke. Hyperglycemia in stroke patients with diabetes mellitus is associated with a higher risk of in‐hospital death.

Stress hyperglycaemia is associated with poor functional outcomes in patients with acute ischaemic stroke after intravenous thrombolysis. QJM 2022; 115:7-11. [PMID: 32810234 DOI: 10.1093/qjmed/hcaa253] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2020] [Revised: 07/21/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Transient hyperglycaemia in the context of illness with or without known diabetes has been termed as 'stress hyperglycaemia'. Stress hyperglycaemia can result in poor functional outcomes in patients with acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) who underwent mechanical thrombectomy. We investigated the association between stress hyperglycaemia and clinical outcomes in AIS patients undergoing intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). METHODS We examined 666 consecutive patients with AIS who underwent IVT from 2006 to 2018. All patients had a glycated haemoglobin level (HbA1c) and fasting venous blood glucose measured within 24 h of admission. Stress hyperglycaemia ratio (SHR) was defined as the ratio of the fasting glucose to the HbA1c. Univariate and multivariate analyses were employed to identify predictors of poor functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale 3-6 at 3 months) after IVT. RESULTS Three-hundred and sixty-one patients (54.2%) had good functional outcomes. These patients tended to be younger (60.7 ± 12.7 vs. 70 ± 14.4 years, P < 0.001), male (70.7% vs. 51.5%, P < 0.001), had lower prevalence of atrial fibrillation (13.0% vs. 20.7%, P = 0.008) and lower SHR (0.88 ± 0.20 vs. 0.99 ± 26, P < 0.001). Patients with high SHR (≥0.97) were slightly older than those with low SHR (<0.97) and were more likely to have diabetes mellitus. On multivariate analysis, higher SHR was independently associated with poor functional outcomes (adjusted odds ratio 3.85, 95% confidence interval 1.59-9.09, P = 0.003). CONCLUSION SHR appears to be an important predictor of functional outcomes in patients with AIS undergoing IVT. This may have important implications on the role of glycaemic control in the acute management of ischaemic stroke.

Abstract
The alarming rise in the worldwide prevalence of obesity and associated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have reached epidemic portions. Diabetes in its many forms and T2DM have different physiological backgrounds and are difficult to classify. Bariatric surgery (BS) is considered the most effective treatment for obesity in terms of weight loss and comorbidity resolution, improves diabetes, and has been proven superior to medical management for the treatment of diabetes. The term metabolic surgery (MS) describes bariatric surgical procedures used primarily to treat T2DM and related metabolic conditions. MS is the most effective means of obtaining substantial and durable weight loss in individuals with obesity. Originally, BS was used as an alternative weight-loss therapy for patients with severe obesity, but clinical data revealed its metabolic benefits in patients with T2DM. MS is more effective than lifestyle or medical management in achieving glycaemic control, sustained weight loss, and reducing diabetes comorbidities. New guidelines for T2DM expand the use of MS to patients with a lower body mass index.Evidence has shown that endocrine changes resulting from BS translate into metabolic benefits that improve the comorbid conditions associated with obesity, such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and T2DM. Other changes include bacterial flora rearrangement, bile acids secretion, and adipose tissue effect.This review aims to examine the physiological mechanisms in diabetes, risks for complications, the effects of bariatric and metabolic surgery and will shed light on whether diabetes should be reclassified.

Initial Stress Hyperglycemia Is Associated With Malignant Cerebral Edema, Hemorrhage, and Poor Functional Outcome After Mechanical Thrombectomy. Neurosurgery 2022; 90:66-71. [PMID: 34982872 DOI: 10.1227/neu.0000000000001735] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2021] [Accepted: 08/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant cerebral edema (MCE) and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) are associated with poor neurological outcomes despite revascularization after mechanical thrombectomy (MT). The factors associated with the development of MCE and ICH after MT are not well understood. OBJECTIVE To determine periprocedural factors associated with MCE, ICH, and poor functional outcome. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed anterior cerebral circulation large vessel occlusion cases that underwent MT from 2012 to 2019 at a single Comprehensive Stroke Center. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine significant predictors of MCE, ICH, and poor functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale, 3-6) at 90 d. RESULTS Four hundred patients were included. Significant independent predictors of MCE after MT included initial stress glucose ratio (iSGR) (odds ratio [OR], 14.26; 95% CI, 3.82-53.26; P < .001), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) (OR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.03-1.18; P = .008), internal carotid artery compared with M1 or M2 occlusion, and absence of successful revascularization (OR, 0.16; 95% CI, 0.06-0.44; P < .001). Significant independent predictors of poor functional outcome included MCE (OR, 7.47; 95% CI, 2.20-25.37; P = .001), iSGR (OR, 5.15; 95% CI, 1.82-14.53; P = .002), ICH (OR, 4.77; 95% CI, 1.20-18.69; P = .024), NIHSS (OR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.05-1.16; P < .001), age (OR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.03-1.07; P < .001), and thrombolysis in cerebral infarction 2C/3 recanalization (OR, 0.12; 95% CI, 0.05-0.29; P < .001). CONCLUSION Elevated iSGR significantly increases the risk of MCE and ICH and is an independent predictor of poor functional outcome. Thrombolysis in cerebral infarction 2C/3 revascularization is associated with reduced risk of MCE, ICH, and poor functional outcome. Whether stress hyperglycemia represents a modifiable risk factor is uncertain, and further investigation is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early neurological deterioration (END) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) can be associated with poor outcome. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between infarction subtypes, biomarkers and END, and to identify patients with risk of unfavorable functional outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study enrolled 101 patients with AIS. Neurological status was evaluated according to NIHSS at acute onset, on days 2, 3, and 90. END was defined as ≥2-point increase of NIHSS within 72 hours. Functional outcome was assessed using NIHSS and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at day 90. RESULTS END was observed in 20, 8%. Patients with large artery disease had higher risk of developing END compared with patients with cardioembolism or small vessel disease (p <0.01). Significant higher blood glucose level and leukocytes were observed in the END group. Patients with END had higher scores of mRS at day 90 (p <0.01). Levels of NSE, IL-6, hsCRP and NT-proBNP were higher in the patients with unfavorable compared with favorable functional outcome. CONCLUSION Large artery disease, high blood glucose and leukocytes levels are associated with END. Elevated levels of blood markers NSE, IL-6, HsCRP and NT-proBNP indicate poor functional outcome at 90 days after AIS. These patients must be identified and be offered treatment immediately in order to improve the functional outcome after AIS.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hyperglycemia during acute ischemic stroke is associated with worse outcomes, and this glucose altitude may persist in the initial days. In this study, we investigate the effect of glucose fluctuations in the first 4 days in patients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke and who underwent ivr-tPA ± interventional thrombectomy or only interventional thrombectomy on stroke prognosis. Study was designed bicentered retrospective case series. Patients older than 18 years were included and those suitable for acute treatment, treatment indications, contraindications, and treatment management of hyperglycemia were selected according to the 2018 American Stroke Association guidelines. The effect of fasting glucose values of patients in the first 4 days on admission and 24th hour NIHSS scores, duration of hospitalization, disability, mortality, and prognosis were analyzed. We aimed to demostred the effect of the first 4-day glucose values measured in patients treated in a stroke center on clinical prospect.
Results
One hundred and seventy-six patients were included in the study. Group 1 included 30 (17%) patients with severe clinical condition (NIHSS at admission ≥ 16), and Group 2 comprised 146 (83%) patients with moderate and mild clinical condition (NIHSS at admission < 16). The glucose values of Groups 1 and 2 were found as follows: day 1 (admission): 178.7 ± 10.3 mg/dl and 138.3 ± 54.9 mg/dl, day 2: 197.7 ± 99.8 mg/dl and 137.6 ± 51.8 mg/dl, day 3: 186.1 ± 97.6 mg/dl and 127.5 ± 50.0 mg/dl, and day 4: 169.2 ± 85.0 mg/dl and 126.7 ± 49.3 mg/dl (p < 0.05). Mortality risk of patients with glucose ≥ 200 mg/dl was 43.5% on day 1 (p > 0.05), 57.1% on day 2, 68.4% on day 3, and 76.5% on day 4 (p < 0.05).
Conclusions
The glucose level of patients in severe clinical condition peaked on the second day and that 4 days of resilient severe hyperglycemia is a negative risk factor for sequela and mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate long-term and serial functional outcomes in ischemic stroke patients without diabetes with post-stroke hyperglycemia. METHODS The Korean Stroke Cohort for Functioning and Rehabilitation (KOSCO) is a large, multi-center, prospective cohort study of stroke patients admitted to participating hospitals in nine areas of Korea. From KOSCO, ischemic stroke patients without diabetes were recruited and divided into two groups: patients without diabetes without (n=779) and with post-stroke hyperglycemia (n=223). Post-stroke hyperglycemia was defined as a glucose level >8 mmol/L. Functional assessments were performed 7 days and 3, 6, and 12 months after stroke onset. RESULTS There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the groups, except in the age of onset and smoking. Analysis of the linear correlation between the initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score and glucose level showed no significant difference. Among our functional assessments, NIHSS, Fugl-Meyer Assessment (affected side), Functional Ambulatory Category, modified Rankin Scale, and Korean Mini-Mental State Examination (K-MMSE) showed statistically significant improvements in each group. All functional improvements except K-MMSE were significantly higher in patients without post-stroke hyperglycemia at 7 days and 3, 6, and 12 months. CONCLUSION The glucose level of ischemic stroke patients without diabetes had no significant correlation with the initial NIHSS score. The long-term effects of stress hyperglycemia showed worse functional outcomes in ischemic stroke patients without diabetes with post-stroke hyperglycemia.

Clinical and Non-Clinical Determinants of the Effect of Mechanical Thrombectomy and Post-Stroke Functional Status of Patients in Short and Long-Term Follow-Up. J Clin Med 2021; 10:5084. [PMID: 34768603 PMCID: PMC8584929 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10215084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2021] [Revised: 10/10/2021] [Accepted: 10/26/2021] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
To date, inconsistent results evaluating the effect of parameters on mechanical thrombectomy (MT) outcomes in stroke-patients have been published. This study aimed to identify the key parameters for functional status after MT in stroke-patients in short and long-term follow-up. METHOD The study analysis focused on the relevance of selected clinical and non-clinical parameters to the functional status of the patients after MT. RESULTS 417 stroke-patients (mean age 67.8 ± 13.2 years) were qualified. Atrial fibrillation, and leukocytosis were significant for the neurological status on the first day of stroke (p = 0.036, and p = 0.0004, respectively). The parameters with the strongest effect on the functional status on day 10 were: age (p = 0.009), NIHSS (p = 0.002), hyperglycemia (p = 0.009), the result in TICI (p = 0.046), and first pass effect (p = 0.043). The parameters with the strongest effect on the functional status on day 365 were: age and NIHSS on the first day of stroke (p = 0.0002 and 0.002, respectively). Leukocytosis and the neurological status at baseline were key parameters associated with ICB after MT (p = 0.007 and p = 0.003, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Age and neurological status in the ultra-acute phase of stroke are crucial for the functional status in short and long-term observations of patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy. Atrial fibrillation, hyperglycemia, and inflammatory state are relevant to the short-term post-stroke functional status. First pass effect and the degree of post-interventional reperfusion are important technical parameters to the short-term functional status. Neurological status and white blood count during the acute phase are associated with a high rate of post-procedural intracranial bleeding.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify how alterations in glucose levels are associated with regional brain injury in neonatal encephalopathy. METHODS This was a prospective cohort study of 102 newborns with neonatal encephalopathy, with continuous glucose monitoring for 72 h. 97 (95%) completed 72 h of therapeutic hypothermia. Brain imaging around day 5 of life included diffusion tensor imaging and MR spectroscopy. Regions of interest were placed for both DTI and MR spectroscopy, and tractography of the optic radiation and corticospinal tract were evaluated. Linear regression models related each MR metric with minimum and maximum glucose values during each day of life, adjusting for 5-minute Apgar scores and umbilical artery pH. RESULTS Higher maximum glucose levels on the first day of life were associated with widespread changes in mean diffusivity in the anterior and posterior white matter, splenium of the corpus callosum, lentiform nucleus, pulvinar nucleus of the thalamus, posterior limb of the internal capsule, and optic radiations, thus including regions traditionally associated with hypoxia-ischemia or hypoglycemia. No associations were found between lower minimum glucose levels and DTI changes in any regions tested, or between glucose levels and MR spectroscopy. CONCLUSIONS In this cohort of neonatal encephalopathy with therapeutic hypothermia, higher maximal glucose on the first day of life was associated with widespread microstructural changes, but lower minimum glucose levels were not associated with changes in any of the regions tested. Long-term follow-up will determine if imaging findings translate to long-term outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether prestroke glucose control is associated with functional outcomes in patients with acute large vessel occlusive stroke and diabetes who underwent intra-arterial thrombectomy (IAT). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS From the Clinical Research Center for Stroke-Korea registry, we included patients with emergent large vessel occlusive stroke with diabetes who underwent IAT between January 2009 and March 2020. The association between the HbA1c level at admission and functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale at 3 months after the index stroke) was assessed. RESULTS A total of 1,351 patients were analyzed. Early neurological deterioration was more common in patients with higher levels of HbA1c at admission (P = 0.02 according to HbA1c quintiles, P = 0.003 according to an HbA1c cutoff value of 7.0%) than in those with lower HbA1c levels. Higher HbA1c levels at admission were significantly associated with decreased odds of favorable functional outcomes at a threshold of 7.0-7.1%. The association was consistently observed in subgroups divided according to age, sex, stroke subtype, occlusion site, degree of recanalization, thrombolysis modalities, time from symptom onset to groin puncture, and treatment period. CONCLUSIONS Prestroke glucose control with a target HbA1c of ≤7.0% may be beneficial for neurological recovery in patients with diabetes undergoing IAT for large vessel occlusive stroke, regardless of stroke subtype, bridging intravenous thrombolysis, occlusion site, degree of recanalization, and treatment period.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a highly lethal event with a poor prognosis. Recovering residual neuronal function in the intermediate stage of TBI is important for treatment; however, neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis impede residual neuronal repair processes. Considering that hyperglycemia influences inflammatory processes and neuronal survival, we examined the effects of high glucose on neuroinflammation and neuronal death during the intermediate phase of TBI. Rat models of type 2 diabetes mellitus and/or TBI were developed and behaviorally assessed. Neurological function and cognitive abilities were impaired in TBI rats and worsened by type 2 diabetes mellitus. Histopathological staining and analyses of serum and hippocampal mRNA and protein levels indicated that neuroinflammation and apoptosis were induced in TBI rats and exacerbated by hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia inhibited hippocampal mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 5 (MEK5) phosphorylation in TBI rats. In vitro assays were used to assess inflammatory factor expression, apoptotic protein levels and neuronal survival after MEK5 activation in TBI- and/or high-glucose-treated neurons. MEK5/extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) pathway activation reduced the inflammation, cleaved caspase-3 expression, Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and apoptosis of TBI neurons, even under high-glucose conditions. Thus, high glucose exacerbated neuroinflammation and apoptosis in the intermediate stage post-TBI by inhibiting the MEK5/ERK5 pathway.

Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Blockade after Stroke Onset Protects Normal but Not Diabetic Mice. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22115419. [PMID: 34063817 PMCID: PMC8196561 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22115419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2021] [Revised: 05/11/2021] [Accepted: 05/20/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is abundant in the brain, is upregulated in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), and is possible mediator of ischemic injury via the breakdown of neuroprotective epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). Prophylactic, pre-ischemic sEH blockade with 4-[[trans-4-[[(tricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]dec-1-ylamino)carbonyl]amino]cyclohexyl]oxy]-benzoic acid (tAUCB) reduces stroke-induced infarct in normal and diabetic mice, with larger neuroprotection in DM2. The present study tested whether benefit occurs in normal and DM2 mice if tAUCB is administered after stroke onset. We performed 60 min middle cerebral artery occlusion in young adult male C57BL mice divided into four groups: normal or DM2, with t-AUCB 2 mg/kg or vehicle 30 min before reperfusion. Endpoints were (1) cerebral blood flow (CBF) by laser Doppler, and (2) brain infarct at 24 h. In nondiabetic mice, t-AUCB reduced infarct size by 30% compared to vehicle-treated mice in the cortex (31.4 ± 4 vs. 43.8 ± 3 (SEM)%, respectively) and 26% in the whole hemisphere (26.3 ± 3 vs. 35.2 ± 2%, both p < 0.05). In contrast, in DM2 mice, tAUCB failed to ameliorate either cortical or hemispheric injury. No differences were seen in CBF. We conclude that tAUCB administered after ischemic stroke onset exerts brain protection in nondiabetic but not DM2 mice, that the neuroprotection appears independent of changes in gross CBF, and that DM2-induced hyperglycemia abolishes t-AUCB-mediated neuroprotection after stroke onset.

Abstract
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and permanent disability worldwide. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is an endogenous protective strategy, which has been reported to exhibit a significant neuroprotective effect in reducing the incidence of ischemic stroke. However, the underlying neuroprotective mechanisms of IPC remain elusive. An increased understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms of stroke and IPC serves to highlight the importance of metabolic reprogramming. In this review, we summarize the metabolic disorder and metabolic plasticity in the incidence and progression of ischemic stroke. We also elaborate how IPC fully mobilizes the metabolic reprogramming to maintain brain metabolic homeostasis, especially for energy and redox homeostasis, and finally protects brain function in the event of an ischemic stroke.

Utility of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy for the Progression of Neurological Symptoms in Lenticulostriate Artery Territory Infarction. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2021; 30:105747. [PMID: 33784520 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2021.105747] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2021] [Revised: 02/24/2021] [Accepted: 03/08/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1HMRS) in determining the progression of neurological symptoms resulting in acute ischemic stroke in patients with lenticulostriate artery (LSA) infarction. MATERIALS AND METHODS 1HMRS was performed within 72 h after neurological symptom onset. Voxel of interest was placed in tissue that included the pyramidal tract and identified diffusion weighted echo planar spin-echo sequence (DWI) coronal images. Infarct volume in DWI was calculated using the ABC/2 method. 1HMRS data (tNAA, tCr, Glx, tCho, and Ins) were analyzed using LCModel. Progressive neurological symptoms were defined as an increase of 1 or more in the NIHSS score. Patients who underwent 1HMRS after progressive neurological symptoms were excluded. RESULTS In total, 77 patients were enrolled. Of these, 19 patients had progressive neurological symptoms. The patients with progressive neurological symptoms were significantly more likely to be female and had higher tCho/tCr values, higher rates of axial slices ≥ 3 slices on DWI, higher infarct volume on DWI, higher maximum diameter of infarction of axial slice on DWI, and higher SBP on admission compared to those without. Multivariable logistic analysis revealed that higher tCho/tCr values were independently associated with progressive neurological symptoms after adjusting for age, sex, and initial DWI infarct volume (tCho/tCr per 0.01 increase, OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.03-1.52, P = 0.022). CONCLUSIONS Increased tCho/tCr score were associated with progressive neurological symptoms in patients with LSA ischemic stroke. Quantitative evaluation of 1HMRS parameters may be useful for predicting the progression of neurological symptoms.
