The association of mean glucose level and glucose variability with intensive care unit mortality in patients with severe acute pancreatitis.

TLDR
GLI was a better predictor of ICU and hospital mortality than was MGL, and together with the second 24-hour APACHE II score and the number of organ failures upon ICU admission, GLI is an independent predictor of mortality in patients with SAP.

Glycaemic variability, infections and mortality in a medical-surgical intensive care unit

TL;DR: High GV is associated with higher risk of ICUCrit acquired infection and mortality and the areas under receiver operating characteristic curves were calculated to compare the discriminatory ability of GV and mean BGL for infections and mortality.

Nutrition in acute pancreatitis: a critical review

TL;DR: This review provides a critical review of the available literature and concludes that enteral nutrition is superior to parenteral nutrition, although several limitations should be taken into account.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glycemic variability and outcome in critically ill.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that high glucose variability is associated with increased ICU mortality in a large heterogeneous cohort of ICU patients, particularly evident among patients in the euglycemic range.
Journal ArticleDOI

Poststroke glycemic variability increased recurrent cardiovascular events in diabetic patients

TL;DR: The initial glycemic variability might increase cardiovascular events in acute ischemic stroke patients with diabetes, and increased cardiovascular outcomes in highest J-index quartile were similar in both euglycemic and hyperglycemic groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of multiple glycemic parameters at intensive care unit admission with mortality and clinical outcomes in critically ill patients

TL;DR: In this mixed sample of critically ill subjects, including patients with and without preexisting diabetes, Glycemic gap, glycemic variability, and SHR were associated with worse outcomes, but not with mortality.

Intensive Insulin Therapy in Critically Ill Patients

TL;DR: Intensive insulin therapy to maintain blood glucose at or below 110 mg per deciliter reduces morbidity and mortality among critically ill patients in the surgical intensive care unit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intensive versus conventional glucose control in critically ill patients.

TL;DR: In this large, international, randomized trial, it was found that intensive glucose control increased mortality among adults in the ICU: a blood glucose target of 180 mg or less per deciliter resulted in lower mortality than did a target of 81 to 108 mg perDeciliter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of oxidative stress by acute glucose fluctuations compared with sustained chronic hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: Glucose fluctuations during postprandial periods and, more generally, during glucose swings exhibited a more specific triggering effect on oxidative stress than chronic sustained hyperglycemia, suggesting that interventional trials in type 2 diabetes should target not only hemoglobin A1c and mean glucose concentrations but also acute glucose swings.

Stress hyperglycaemia and increased risk of death after myocardial infarction in patients with and without diabetes : a systematic overview

TL;DR: Stress hyperglycaemia with myocardial infarction is associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality in patients with and without diabetes; the risk of congestive heart failure or cardiogenic shock is also increased in patients without diabetes.
