Dextrose infusion and glucose disorders in people without diabetes hospitalized in general wards

Abstract We measured fasting plasma glucose (FPG) on a single day in all persons without diabetes history admitted in general wards ( N = 1922). After age and length of stay adjustment, dextrose infusion was associated with a 3-fold increase ( p < 0.001) of hospital-related hyperglycemia (FPG ≥ 7...

Description
Summary:Abstract We measured fasting plasma glucose (FPG) on a single day in all persons without diabetes history admitted in general wards ( N = 1922). After age and length of stay adjustment, dextrose infusion was associated with a 3-fold increase ( p < 0.001) of hospital-related hyperglycemia (FPG ≥ 7 mmol/l), highlighting the need to interpret glucose disorders cautiously.
