OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the relationship between glycated serum protein (GSP) and progressive infarction (PI). METHODS: From April 2017 to December 2020, we recruited 477 patients within 48 hours after the onset of acute ischemic stroke into this case-control study. Demographic characteristics, clinical information, and laboratory and neuroimaging data were recorded after admission. RESULTS: PI occurred in 144 (30.8%) patients. Patients with PI had higher initial National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, higher discharge NIHSS scores, higher modified Rankin scale scores at 3 months after onset, higher GSP levels, lower prothrombin times, and lower creatinine levels than patients without PI...
