Hyperglycemia in the Intensive Care Unit, a Prevalence Study

NCT00854347 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2009-03-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Hyperglycemia is very common among critically ill patients, even in the absence of diagnosed diabetes or pre-diabetes.

We aimed to determine the prevalence of occult glucose metabolism abnormalities in a general intensive care unit (ICU) and hypothesized that hyperglycemia severity, as reflected by insulin requirements for maintenance of normoglycemia, could be used as a tool to identify high risk patients.
