Key result
Preexisting diabetes mellitus in stroke survivors aged under 65 years was associated with a 46% higher likelihood of in-hospital death compared to those without diabetes.
Why the study?
Diabetic patients face difficulties when fasting during Ramadan, raising risks of hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis, necessitating medical education and safe fasting strategies.
Does preexisting diabetes mellitus worsen in-hospital and long-term outcomes in young and midlife stroke survivors?
Cohort (n=8,293)
Yes
Does preexisting diabetes mellitus worsen in-hospital and long-term outcomes in young and midlife stroke survivors?
Odds Ratio: 1.46 (95% CI 1.14–1.87)
Preexisting diabetes mellitus in young and midlife stroke survivors significantly increases the risk of in-hospital mortality, long-term mortality, recurrent stroke, and incident dementia.
Supports risk stratification by diabetes status in young stroke survivors; extends observational evidence but leaves optimal interventions open.

Yu et al. (2023) conducted a cohort in Acute ischemic stroke (n=8,293). Preexisting diabetes mellitus vs. No preexisting diabetes mellitus was evaluated on In-hospital mortality (OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.14-1.87). Preexisting diabetes mellitus in stroke survivors aged under 65 years was associated with a 46% higher likelihood of in-hospital death compared to those without diabetes.
