Article Synopsis
- Glycemic control during critical illness is crucial, with recommendations suggesting insulin therapy for glucose levels over 180 mg/dL, and possibly lowering it to 140 mg/dL for non-diabetics; this study explored the relationship between different glucose thresholds and 90-day mortality.
- A retrospective study analyzed data from 1,429 critical patients, revealing that diabetic individuals had higher mean glucose levels and mortality rates compared to non-diabetics.
- The findings indicated that non-diabetic patients with glucose levels exceeding 150 mg/dL were at a greater risk of mortality within 90 days, highlighting the importance of managing hyperglycemia in this group.
