Blood glucose levels are associated with cerebral microbleeds in patients with acute ischaemic stroke
European Neurology Dec 24, 2018
Lei C, et al. - In this prospective study of patients with acute ischaemic stroke, researchers explored the link between cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and blood glucose. For this investigation, they consecutively and prospectively involved patients admitted to the department with acute ischaemic stroke. According to the occurrence and location of CMBs and levels of blood glucose, baseline demographic and clinical covariates were collected and analyzed. Of the 161 patients, 69 (42.76%)) were female. CMBs were found in 80 patients (49.69%). The prevalence of CMBs with increasing glucose quarter was significant. Outcomes revealed that the frequencies of deep or infratentorial CMBs varied with glucose quarter. According to findings, glucose was not associated with lobar CMBs but with deep or infratentorial CMBs.
