In non-diabetic IS patients, HOMA-IR was elevated and related to stroke severity, but after adjustment for IS severity, the associations between HOMR-IR and poor outcome lost significance. This could suggest that elevated IR mostly is a part of the acute IS morbidity. However, in the subgroup of cryptogenic stroke, the associations with poor outcome withstood correction for stroke severity.
