Patients with severe stroke and salvageable brain tissue at admission, who have higher glycaemic and blood pressure levels, may have a risk of iatrogenic hypoglycemia/iatrogenic hypotension. In this study, we examined the relationship between the presence of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)/perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) mismatch, admission blood glucose level, and admission blood pressure level in patients who were admitted in the first 12 hours after onset. We studied 212 patients who were prospectively and consecutively registered to the stroke unit from 2006 to 2009. Correlations between mismatch and admission blood pressure level (ABPL) and admission blood glucose level (ABGL) were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. Mismatch (
P
= .064, adjusted OR = 2.297, 95% CI, 0.953–5.536) was not associated with a high ABGL in the whole group. However, after excluding patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) (n = 67, 35%), mismatch (
P
= .033, adjusted OR = 3.801, 95% CI, 1.110–13.015), an impaired level of consciousness, use of anti-DM medication, glycated hemoglobin levels, and cardioembolic aetiology were independent predictors of a high ABGL. The presence of mismatch or proximal vessel occlusion was not associated with ABPL. Female sex (
P
= .048) and total anterior circulation stroke (
P
= .008) were independent predictors associated with a higher ABPL. We conclude that patients with hyperacute ischemic stroke with PWI/DWI mismatch are more likely to have hyperglycemia.
