Early postoperative glucose control predicts nosocomial infection rate in diabetic patients
James J. Pomposelli,John K. Baxter,Timothy J. Babineau,Elizabeth A. Pomfret,David F. Driscoll,R. Armour Forse,Bruce R. Bistrian +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that diabetic patients undergoing major cardiovascular or abdominal surgery have an increased risk of infection that is further exacerbated by early postoperative hyperglycemia and efforts to improve perioperative glucose homeostasis in diabetic patients may reduce the incidence of nosocomial infection and thereby improve outcome.
