- The study investigates how immediate postoperative hyperglycemia (IPH) affects outcomes for patients undergoing peripheral arterial bypass surgery, focusing on both short-term and long-term results.
- A review of 505 patients showed that over half (50.5%) were hyperglycemic after surgery, which correlated with higher rates of limb loss, myocardial infarction, and increased hospital costs.
- Long-term follow-up indicated that hyperglycemic patients faced a significantly greater risk of major amputations within 10 years, particularly after infrainguinal bypass procedures.
