摘      要：AIM: To assess whether ischemic stroke severity and outcome is more adverse in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). METHODS: Consecutive patients hospitalized for acute ischemic stroke between September 2010 and June 2013 were studied prospectively(n = 482; 40.2% males, age 78.8 ± 6.7 years). T2 DM was defined as self-reported T2 DM or antidiabetic treatment. Stroke severity was evaluated with the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS) score at admission. The outcome was assessed with the modified Rankin scale(m RS) score at discharge and with in-hospital mortality. Adverse outcome was defined as m RS score at discharge ≥ 2 or in-hospital death. The length of hospitalization was also ***: T2 DM was present in 32.2% of the study population. Patients with T2 DM had a larger waist circumference, higher serum triglyceride and glucose levels and lower serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels as well as higher prevalence of hypertension, coronary heart disease and congestive heart failure than patients without T2 DM. On the other hand, diabetic patients had lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and reported smaller consumption of alcohol than non-diabetic patients. At admission, the NIHSS score did not differ between patients with and without T2DM(8.7 ± 8.8 and 8.6 ± 9.2, respectively; P = NS). At discharge, the m RS score also did not differ between the two groups(2.7 ± 2.1 and 2.7 ± 2.2 in patients with and without T2 DM, respectively; P = NS). Rates of adverse outcome were also similar in patients with and without T2DM(62.3% and 58.5%, respectively; P = NS). However, when we adjusted for the differences between patients with T2 DM and those without T2 DM in cardiovascular risk factors, T2 DM was independently associated with adverse outcome [relative risk(RR) = 2.39; 95%CI: 1.21-4.72, P = 0.012]. Inhospital mortality rates did not differ between patients with T2 DM and those without T2DM(9.0% and 9.8%, respectively;
