Why the study?
Does the severity of type 2 diabetes complications, initial glucose, or HbA1c impact hospital mortality in patients with sepsis?
Does the severity of type 2 diabetes complications, initial glucose, or HbA1c impact hospital mortality in patients with sepsis?
In patients with type 2 diabetes and sepsis, the burden of diabetes-related complications is a major determinant of hospital mortality, whereas initial blood glucose and HbA1c levels are not significantly associated with survival.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Complication burden may guide risk stratification in diabetic sepsis; leaves open whether complication-targeted strategies improve survival.
Hsieh et al. (2018) studied this question.
