Exploring the correlation between corrective glucose treatment and long-term patient outcomes: a SHINE secondary analysis by Paul Horton, Vishal Patel, C. L. Hall, Karen C. Johnston, Yajun Mei, Ofer Sadan

“…To assess the relationship between acute post-stroke glycemic control parameters and patient outcomes, we reanalyzed the data from the first 8 h of treatment for patients in the Stroke Hyperglycemia Insulin Network Effort (SHINE) clinical trial, when glycemic variability is highest.MethodsIn this secondary analysis of the SHINE dataset, the rate of glucose change during the first 8 h was evaluated for its association with patient outcomes, dichotomized as modified Rankin scale (mRS) 0–2 versus 3–6, using logistic regression and a linear mixed-effects model.ResultsUnadjusted analysis of the glucose correction period during the first 8 h suggested that patients with mRS 3–6 had a faster glucose correction compared to those with mRS 0–2 (−8.9 and −6.7 mg/dL/h, p &lt; 0.001). …”
