Abstract
ASMAT-VASQUEZ, Jose Carlos Mariano and DIAZ-PAZ, Karen. High Leuko-Glycemic Index As An In-Hospital Mortality Predictor In Patients With Acute Ischemical Ictus. Rev Ecuat Neurol [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.2, pp.18-25. ISSN 2631-2581. https://doi.org/10.46997/revecuatneurol30200018.
OBJECTIVE:
To demonstrate that the high leuko-glycemic index was a predictor of in-hospital mortality in patients with acute ischemic stroke of the Neurology Department at Belen of Trujillo Hospital in the period from January 2014 to December 2018.
MATERIAL AND METHOD:
Observational, analytical, cohort and retrospective research, conducted at Belen of Trujillo Hospital, with a census sample of patients hospitalized in the Neurology department with diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke in the period from January 2014 to December 2018 , who met the selection criteria.
RESULTS:
281 medical records were analyzed, where 18 were of deceased patients, of which 56% died with a leuko-glycemic index greater than 1600, the association being statistically significant (RRa: 6.33, CI: 95% [1.35 - 29.64]; p = 0.019). In addition, in the multivariate analysis, age greater than or equal to 80 years, admission moderate awareness disorder and in-hospital pneumonia were also relevant.
CONCLUSION:
The high leuko-glycemic index was a predictor of in-hospital mortality in patients with acute ischemic stroke of the Neurology Department at Belen of Trujillo Hospital in the period from January 2014 to December 2018.
