title: Is diabetes an independent risk factor for in-hospital complications after a stroke? ？.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are more likely to develop in-hospital complications (IHCs) than patients without DM. In addition, they have poorer outcomes after an ischemic stroke (IS). Our goal was to evaluate whether the increase in risk for the development of IHCs in patients with IS is due to DM per se, to poor metabolic control of the DM or to glucose levels on admission.
  
  
  METHODS
  An observational study that included 1137 consecutive IS patients admitted to a stroke unit. Demographic data, vascular risk factors, stroke severity, on-admission glycemia and IHC were compared between patients with and without DM. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with IHCs.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Of all included patients, 283 (24.8%) had a previous diagnosis of DM. These patients were older and had higher comorbidity, with no differences in stroke severity. They presented on-admission glycemia ≥155 mg/dL more often and suffered IHCs more frequently (24% versus 17.7%, P = 0.034). However, after adjusting for baseline differences, DM was not associated with the development of any IHC, whereas on-admission glycemia ≥155 mg/dL (odds ratio: 1.959; 95% CI 1.276-3.009; P = 0.002) and stroke severity (odds ratio: 1.141; 95% CI 1.109-1.173; P < 0.001) were the primary predictors of the development of IHCs.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although IS patients with DM more often suffered IHCs, previous diagnosis of DM is not per se associated with the risk of IHCs. Stroke severity and on-admission glycemia ≥155 mg/dL were the most significant predictors for the development of IHCs.
