Introduction: The study aimed to identify the main prognostic factors in diabetic patients with ischemic stroke undergoing reperfusion therapies (RT).Methods: This retrospective study included 170 diabetic patients: 62 treated with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) alone and 108 with mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Among MT patients, 29 underwent IVT. We collected clinical, laboratory, and radiological data. The outcomes were 3-month functional impairment (measured by modified Rankin scale, mRs), discharge neurological severity (measured by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, NIHSS), 3-month mortality, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SICH). We performed a general analysis for all RT and sub-group analyses for IVT and MT.Results: A lower mRs was associated with lower glycemia and admission NIHSS (aNIHSS) in all RT and MT; lower aNIHSS and younger age in IVT. Mortality increased with hyperglycemia, aNIHSS, and age in all RT; age and aNIHSS in IVT; hyperglycemia and systolic pressure in MT. A lower discharge NIHSS was related with lower aNIHSS, thrombolysis, and no thrombectomy in all RT; lower aNIHSS in IVT; lower aNIHSS and thrombolysis in MT. ICH was associated with elevated aNIHSS, older age, and lower platelets in all RT; lower platelets and older age in IVT; higher aNIHSS in MT. SICH depended on longer thrombectomy duration in all RT; no metformin use in IVT; higher weight in MT.Conclusion: The study shed light on diabetic patients and stroke RT highlighting the protective effect of metformin in IVT and the role of glycemia, weight, and combined treatment in MT.
