- Abstract
We evaluated the impact of prestroke glycemic variability estimated by glycated albumin (GA) on symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation (SHT) in patients with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). Using a multicenter database, we consecutively enrolled acute ischemic stroke patients receiving IVT. A total of 378 patients were included in this study. Higher GA was defined as GA ≥ 16.0%. The primary outcome measure was SHT. Multivariate regression analysis and a receiver operating characteristic curve were used to assess risks and predictive ability for SHT. Among the 378 patients who were enrolled in this study, 27 patients (7.1%) had SHT as defined by the Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke-Monitoring Study (SHTSITS). The rate of SHTSITS was higher in the higher GA group than in the lower GA group (18.0% vs. 1.6%, p < 0.001). A higher GA level (GA ≥ 16.0%) significantly increased the risk of SHTSITS (adjusted odds ratio [OR], [95% confidence interval, CI], 12.57 [3.08–41.54]) in the logistic regression analysis. The predictive ability of the GA level for SHTSITS was good (AUC [95% CI]: 0.83 [0.77–0.90], p < 0.001), and the cutoff value of GA in SHT was 16.3%. GA was a reliable predictor of SHT after IVT in acute ischemic stroke in this study.
