Abstract
PurposeThe relationship between the TIR and mortality may be influenced by the presence of diabetes and other glycemic indicators. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between TIR and in-hospital mortality in diabetic and non-diabetic patients in ICU. MethodsA total of 998 patients with severe diseases in the ICU were selected for this retrospective analysis. The TIR is defined as the percentage of time spent in the target blood glucose range of 3.9–10.0 mmol/L within 24 h. The relationship between TIR and in-hospital mortality in diabetic and non-diabetic patients was analyzed. The effect of glycemic variability was also analyzed. ResultsThe binary logistic regression model showed that there was a significant association between the TIR and the in-hospital death of severely ill non-diabetic patients. Furthermore, TIR≥70% was significantly associated with in-hospital death (OR = 0.581, P = 0.003). The study found that the coefficient of variation (CV) was significantly associated with the mortality of severely ill diabetic patients (OR = 1.042, P = 0.027). ConclusionsBoth diabetic and non-diabetic critically ill patients should control blood glucose fluctuations and maintain blood glucose levels within the target range, it may be beneficial in reducing mortality.
