Day 1 blood glucose and outcome in critically ill children

Rakesh Lodha et al. Indian Pediatr. 2009 Sep.

Abstract

We analyzed the association between the day 1 glucose values in 209 children admitted to the PICU and the outcome (mortality). 58 (27.7%) children had hyperglycemia while 18 (8.6%) children had hypoglycemia, on day 1 after admission. Hypoglycemia was associated with higher mortality. This is contrary to the prevalent view supporting the association of hyperglycemia with poor outcome in the critically ill children.
