Objective To explore the association between glycosylated hemoglobin level and poor prognosis in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis.Methods The AIS patients treated with recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator who were hospitalized in the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Science and Technology from September to December 2020 were retrospectively included. According to different levels of glycosylated hemoglobin, they were divided into pre-diabetic group (5.7%≤glycated hemoglobin≤6.4%), diabetic group (previously diabetic or glycosylated hemoglobin≥6.5%), and non-diabetic group (glycated hemoglobin <5.7%). The relevant information of the patients was collected, and a telephone follow-up was conducted 90 days after discharge. According to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, the patients were divided into the good prognosis group (mRS score≤2) and the poor prognosis group (mRS score>2). Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the risk factors for the poor prognosis of intravenous thrombolysis in patients with AIS.Result Eventually 101 patients were included, including 44 in the non-diabetic group, 24 in the pre-diabetic group, and 33 in the diabetic group. And 64 patients were in the good prognosis group and 37 patients were in the poor prognosis group. Regression analysis results showed that diabetes was associated with poor prognosis 3 months after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with AIS [odds ratio=6.518, 95% confidence interval (1.568, 27.096), P=0.010]; and the higher the National Institutesof Health Stroke Scale score at admission was, the higher the risk of poor prognosis would be [odds ratio=1.421, 95% confidence interval (1.231, 1.640), P<0.001].Conclusion In AIS patients who received intravenous thrombolysis, diabetes is associated with poor prognosis after 3 months.
