Effects of admission hyperglycemia and intravenous thrombolysis allocation in acute basilar artery occlusion after endovascular treatment: Analysis of the ATTENTION registry

This study was to investigate the admission hyperglycemia and modified effect of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) on clinical outcomes in acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) patients receiving endovascular treatment (EVT). We prospectively recruited acute BAO patients from 48 stroke centers across 22 Chinese provinces in the ATTENTION registry from 2017 to 2021. Hyperglycemia on admission was defined as glucose ≥7.8 ​mmol/L. We performed multivariable logistic regression analysis to evaluate the correlation of hyperglycemia on admission with the primary outcome defined as a modified Rankin scale (mRS) score of
