Association between diabetes and stress-induced hyperglycemia with skeletal muscle gene expression of INSR in critically ill patients: A prospective cohort study.

This study aimed to investigate the association between diabetes and stress-induced hyperglycemia with skeletal muscle gene expression of INSR of critically ill patients. Skeletal muscle biopsies were prospectively taken from the vastus muscle, and the expression level of INSR was analyzed using RT-qPCR. Fifty patients were included from April 2018 to September 2018.

Association of multiple glycemic parameters at intensive care unit admission with mortality and clinical outcomes in critically ill patients.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of multiple glycemic parameters at intensive care unit (ICU) admission with outcomes in critically ill patients. Critically ill adults admitted to ICU were included prospectively in the study and followed for 180 days until hospital discharge or death. Patients were assessed for glycemic gap, hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, glycemic variability, and stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR).
