Abstract
Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a widely used marker of long-term glycoregulation in diabetes since it reflects levels of glucose in the 120 days prior to measurement. A positive impact of strict glucose control on the outcome of diabetic patients with sepsis has been well established, but the influence of glycoregulation prior to the occurrence of sepsis has not been investigated in relation to outcome. Nonenzymatic glycation and formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are associated with chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes and have many biochemical and cellular effects, including changes in immune and inflammatory responses. Our hypothesis was that such changes could influence the outcome of sepsis.

Results Patient characteristics (mean ± SD): age 57.4 ± 15.4 years, 28 female, 52 male, APACHE II score 28.2 ± 6.6; number of organ failures 4.0 ± 1.12; preceding ICU period 8.5 ± 9.3 days; continuous sedation with midazolam 31.2 ± 34.2 mg/hour, fentanyl 0.12 ± 0.08 mg/hour, propofol 45.6 ± 105.2 mg/hour; sedation assessment according to RS 5.65 ± 0.63, CPS 5.15 ± 1.67, CKS 0.65 ± 0.69, CS 9.34 ± 2.13 und LSS 1.78 ± 1.69, RASS –4.50 ± 1.27, FiO2 0.52 ± 0.17, PEEP 8.2 ± 2.4 cmH2O, ventilatory frequency 20.5 ± 4.8/min, pressure control 16.8 ± 4.4 cmH2O, tidal volume 540 ± 115 ml, TVV 2525.6 ± 11,366 ml (minimum 1.52; maximum 91,586). We hypothesized that S100β levels correlate with this tumor’s preoperative characteristics and with perioperative neurological injury despite its supratentorial location and non-neural origin
