The risk of mortality progressively increased with severity and duration of deviation from euglycemia and with increased variability. These data suggest that severe intensive care unit-acquired hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and variability are associated with similar risks of mortality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
