Factors associated with prolonged length of stay in patients admitted with severe hypoglycaemia to a tertiary care hospital.

Severe hypoglycaemia carries considerable morbidity and potential mortality. We aim to elucidate the factors which were associated with a prolonged length of stay (LOS) among patients with diabetes who were admitted to the hospital with severe hypoglycaemia. Three hundred and four patients were included in the analysis, with a mean age of 70.

High one-year mortality following hospitalization for severe hypoglycemia among patients with diabetes mellitus: findings of a retrospective cohort study at an acute tertiary care hospital in Singapore.

Objectives: Little is known about the 1-year short-term mortality rate following hospital admissions with severe hypoglycemia. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with increased 1-year mortality rate following hospitalization in diabetes patients admitted with severe hypoglycemia to the Singapore General Hospital.

Methods: Clinical, biochemical, and 1-year mortality data from diabetes patients who were admitted with severe hypoglycemia in the year 2014 were extracted from institutional medical records.
