Metabolic Syndrome and Fatal Outcomes in the Post-Stroke Event: A 5-Year Cohort Study in Cameroon
Figure 2
Insulin sensitivity and resistance according to outcome and cause of death during follow-up.
Comparison of insulin resistance and sensitivity indices according to the vital status at 28 days (A), 1 year (B), 5 years from all-cause of death (C) and 5 years cardiovascular-related mortality (D). Data are expressed in a log scale. Boxes represent median (crossing horizontal bar) and interquartile range (lower and upper limits). The whiskers depict maximum and minimum values for each of the insulin resistance/sensitivity indices for deceased patients (red color) and those still alive (blue color) at the indicated follow-up time. For each insulin resistance/sensitivity index, and across figure panels, the boxes and whiskers for the deceased are always displayed on the right.
