Can biochemical markers be used to predict the rate of achieving tight glycaemic control in critically ill adults?

A study of all consecutive admissions to a mixed surgical and medical intensive care unit (ICU) over an 8-week period was undertaken to see if biochemical indices of inflammation correlated with mean insulin dose and time to achieve glycaemic control defined as two blood glucose readings between 4 a...

Summary:A study of all consecutive admissions to a mixed surgical and medical intensive care unit (ICU) over an 8-week period was undertaken to see if biochemical indices of inflammation correlated with mean insulin dose and time to achieve glycaemic control defined as two blood glucose readings between 4 and 8 mmol/l.
