• To investigate the effects of stress hyperglycemia on long-term outcomes in patients with acute kidney injury undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy.
• Nationwide cohort study
• Participants included critically ill patients with acute kidney injury requiring continuous renal replacement therapy
• Excluded patients with preexisting diabetes
• Stress hyperglycemia linked to decreased mortality risk
• Increased risk of coronary events in these patients
