Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the association between stress hyperglycemia and clinical out-comes among patients with and without diabetes mellitns admitted to medical intensive care unit (MICU).Methods We reviewed the medical ICU records of 1016 consecutive patients admitted to Wu Han Univer-sity Ren Min Hospital. According to admission glucose level, 126 patients with debates and 890 patients without known debates were divided into group 1 ( <6 mmol/L), group 2(6 ～ 8mmol/L), group 3(8 ～10mmol/L), and group 4( > 10mmol/L). The primary end point of the study was in-hospital mortality. Secondary end points included length of hospital stay, length of ICU stay, the ratio of mechanical ventila-tion, blood transfusions, antibiotics and blood glucose treatment. Results The hospital mortality among patients without a history of diabetes mellitus was 4. 7%, 12. 1%, 20. 5%, 30. 3% in group 1, 2, 3, 4,respectively. The ratio of mechanical ventilation, blood transfusions, and antibiotics increased progressively as glucose values increased. Conclusions Hyperglycemia was a common disease, and it may be an impor-tant marker of poor clinical outcome and mortality in patients without history of diabetes.
