Multinomial logistic regression analysis: impact of higher GA (≥16.0%) on initial stroke severity (reference = NIHSS 0–5).
| GA ≥ 16.0% (n = 217) | HbA1c ≥ 6.5% (n = 203) | GA/HbA1c ratio | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adjusted ORa | 95% CI | Adjusted ORb | 95% CI | Adjusted ORa | 95% CI | |
| NIHSS 0–5 | Reference | |||||
| NIHSS 6–14 | 1.25 | 0.62–2.51 | 0.88 | 0.44–1.76 | 2.27 | 1.22–4.20 |

GA, glycated albumin; NIHSS, National Institutes Health of Stroke Scale; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
Adjusted for age, sex, hypertension, stroke mechanism, stroke severity, medications for hypertension, medications for DM, prior antithrombotic agents use, statin use, initial random glucose, serum albumin, and glycated hemoglobin.
