Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the effects of obesity and diabetes on outcomes and costs for 2451 patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.
- Patients with hyperglycemia, regardless of diabetes status, faced more complications, longer hospital stays, and significantly higher costs compared to those with normal blood sugar levels.
- Interestingly, obesity alone did not correlate with increased costs or complications except for a higher risk of acute kidney injury.
- Overall, hyperglycemia was identified as a critical factor affecting patient outcomes and expenses in surgical settings.
