Continuous glucose monitoring identifies relationship between optimized glycemic control and post-discharge acute care facility needs

摘要

ObjectiveHyperglycemia is an independent risk factor in hospitalized patients for adverse outcomes, even if patients are not diabetic. We used continuous glucose monitoring to evaluate whether glycemic control (hyperglycemia) in the first 72 h after an intensive care admission was associated with the need for admission to a post discharge long-term medical facility.
