Multicenter Study Comparative StudyHyperglycemia in patients undergoing cerebral aneurysm surgery: its association with long-term gross neurologic and neuropsychological function.
To evaluate whether elevated intraoperative blood glucose concentrations are associated with an increased risk of long-term neurologic dysfunction in patients at risk for ischemic brain injury. ⋯ In patients at high risk for ischemic brain injury, intraoperative hyperglycemia, of a magnitude commonly encountered clinically, was associated with long-term changes in cognition and gross neurologic function.
