Description
Summary:Hyperglycaemia following acute stroke is associated with increased mortality and poor functional recovery. The Glucose Insulin in Stroke Trial is investigating whether treatment of mild-to-moderate hyperglycaemia in patients with acute stroke improves clinical outcomes. Calls for clinical trials to explore the risks and benefits of clinical interventions which modify other physiological variables (e.g. hypoxia, fever, blood pressure). (Quotes from original text)
