Impaired fasting glucose is associated with unfavorable outcome in ischemic stroke patients treated with intravenous alteplase

Objectives Hyperglycemia on admission and diabetes mellitus type II are associated with unfavorable outcome in stroke patients. We studied whether impaired fasting glucose (IFG) is associated with unfavorable outcome in ischemic stroke patients treated with intravenous alteplase as well and if IFG is a stronger prognostic factor than hyperglycemia on admission.
