From: The impact of the severity of sepsis on the risk of hypoglycaemia and glycaemic variability
Comparison of the two IIT protocols | Protocol 1 (n = 100) | Protocol 2 (n = 91) | p valuesa |
---|---|---|---|
Mean BG level during sepsis (mg/dl; mean/SD) | 145.9 (24.7) | 131.7 (19.9) | <0.0001 b |
Median amount of insulin per day (IU; median/IQR) | 42.8 (29.6 to 68.4) | 38.6 (24.4 to 58.3) | 0.2165c |
Median duration of continuous insulin therapy (hours; median/IQR) | 102.2 (8.2 to 214.2) | 143.6 (63.8 to 297.7) | 0.0058 c |
Median duration of entire insulin therapy (hours; median/IQR) | 188.0 (101.9 to 431.5) | 210.4 (103.9 to 429.6) | 0.7102c |
Incidence of hyperglycaemic values | 49.7% | 32.3% | <0.0001 d |
Frequency of BG values within the target range | 47.7% | 63.2% | <0.0001 d |
Time to reach target BG level (hours; median/IQR) | 7.7 (3.2 to 34.8) | 4.1 (3.2 to 09.01) | 0.0012 c |
Duration of continuous insulin therapy (hours; median/IQR) | 102.2 (8.2 to 214.2) | 143.6 (63.8 to 297.7) | 0.0058 c |
