The effects of stress hyperglycemia in diabetic and nondiabetic patients with large vessel occlusions undergoing mechanical thrombectomy.

LVO patients with stress hyperglycemia without previously diagnosed diabetes had more severe strokes, developed larger infarct volumes, poorer collaterals, and had worse functional outcomes at 90 days post-MT. In addition, LVO patients with diabetes and stress hyperglycemia exhibited more passes during MT and worse functional outcomes.
