Abstract
Hyperglycaemia, hypoglycaemia and higher glucose variability during the Early Brain Injury (EBI) period of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) have been associated with poor clinical outcome. However, it is unclear whether these associations are due to direct glucose-driven injury or if hyperglycaemia simply acts as a marker of initial severity. Actually, strict glucose control with intensive insulin therapy has not been demonstrated as an effective strategy for improving clinical outcomes after aSAH. Currently published studies describing an association between hyperglycaemia and prognosis in aSAH patients have been based on isolated glucose measurements and did not incorporate comprehensive dynamic evaluations, such as those derived from subcutaneous continuous glucose monitoring devices (CMG). Arguably, a more accurate knowledge on glycaemic patterns during the acute phase of aSAH could increase our understanding of the relevance of glycaemia as a prognostic factor in this disease as well as to underpin its contribution to secondary focal and diffuse brain injury. Herein, we have summarized the available evidence on the diagnostic and prognostic relevance of glucose metrics during the acute phase of cerebrovascular diseases, focusing in the EBI period after aSAH. Overall, obtaining a more precise scope of acute longitudinal glucose profiles could eventually be useful for improving glucose management protocols in the setting of acute aSAH and to advance toward a more personalized management of aSAH patients during the EBI phase.
