Abstract :

Introduction – Stroke burden is on a rise in India. Hyperglycemia is related closely to outcome of stroke independent of diabetic status of the patient. High plasma glucose levels are associated with increased mortality and morbidity in stroke.

Material and methods– 100 patients of stroke were evaluated for random blood glucose levels. Infarct size , NIHSS score and complications were compared in normoglycemic group (R.B.S. < 140 mg/dl) and hyperglycemic group (R.B.S. > 140mg/dl).

Results– patients with R.B.S.>140mg/dl were associated with increase in infarct size, NIHSS score,increase in complications like pneumonia, bed sores, urinary tract infections, seizures and death.
