Systemic glucose variability predicts cerebral metabolic distress and mortality after subarachnoid hemorrhage: a retrospective observational study

Abstract: IntroductionCerebral glucose metabolism and energy production are affected by serum glucose levels. Systemic glucose variability has been shown to be associated with poor outcome in critically ill patients. The objective of this study was to assess whether glucose variability is associated with cerebral metabolic distress and outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage.MethodsA total of 28 consecutive comatose patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, who underwent cerebral microdialysis and intracranial pressure monit… Show more

“…Blood glucose variability, reflected by the standard deviation of blood glucose levels in ICU, has been associated with patient outcomes, including short-term mortality in general critically ill patients [2,48,49], and neurologic outcomes in patients with acute brain injury [50,51]. Reduced mortality with intensive insulin therapy in the Leuven studies could not be attributed to an effect on blood glucose amplitude variation [2].…”

“…Several previous studies suggest that the variability in glucose levels over time is an important determinant of mortality among critically ill patients (21,22,58). Alternatively, recent evidence shows that glucose fluctuations may influence the development of diabetic complications(4, 47) and may produce more serious injury in organ functions than sustained high blood glucose.…”

“…This data is consistent with the view that anemia was among the most frequent complications in the studied patients. In addition, GCS is not an appropriate indicator to evaluate the neurological status in patients admitted to ICU due to paralysis or sedative medication use [14][15][16][17][18].…”
