Is persistent poststroke hyperglycemia associated with infarct expansion and worse functional outcome?
Persistent poststroke hyperglycemia is associated with infarct expansion and worse functional outcomes, highlighting the need for trials on glucose normalization.
Persistent hyperglycemia on serial glucose monitoring is an independent determinant of infarct expansion and is associated with worse functional outcome. There is an urgent need to study normalization of blood glucose after stroke.
