Abstract:
Acute glycemic control significantly affects the clinical outcomes of critically ill patients. This updated network meta-analysis examines the benefits and harms of four target blood glucose levels (< 110, 110-144, 144-180, and > 180 mg/dL). Analyzing data of 27,541 patients from 37 trials, the surface under the cumulative ranking curve for mortality and hypoglycemia was highest at a target blood glucose level of 144-180 mg/dL, while for infection and acute kidney injury at 110-144 mg/dL. Further evidence is needed to determine whether 110-144 or 144-180 mg/dL is superior as an optimal glucose target, considering prioritized outcomes.
