The interaction of chronic and acute glycemia with mortality in critically ill patients with diabetes*

Abstract: In patients with diabetes mellitus admitted to intensive care units, there was a significant interaction between preexisting hyperglycemia and the association between acute glycemia and mortality. These observations generate the hypothesis that glucose levels that are considered safe and desirable in other patients might be undesirable in diabetic patients with chronic hyperglycemia. Further studies are required to confirm or refute our findings.

“…Hyperglycemia and glucose variability seem to be unassociated with increased mortality rates in diabetic patients compared to nondiabetic patients [473][474][475]. Patients with diabetes and chronic hyperglycemia, end-stage renal failure, or medical versus surgical ICU patients may require higher blood glucose ranges [476,477].…”

“…Egi et al published a very intriguing investigation in 2011 that analyzed the outcomes of 415 diabetics admitted to two Australian ICUs [45]. All had measurement of hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1c) within 3 months of hospitalization.…”

“…The physiological background for this apparent difference is unclear. Other observational studies have suggested that the optimal glycemic target in diabetics may depend on the pre-existing level of glycemic control, as reflected by the pre-admission HbA1c (20,21). From a physiological point of view, this appears more plausible, as patients may adapt to chronic hyperglycemia (22).…”
