Introduction: Patients with diabetes have a worse postoperative course and longer length of hospital stay after surgery. A good indicator of proper long-term (3 months) glycemic control is glycated hemoglobin (HbA), and fructosamine in the short term (2-3 weeks).
Aim: To determine the degree of glycemic control evaluated preoperatively by HbA and/or fructosamine influence on the postoperative course of patients with diabetes undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in 2014-2015.
