Prognostic value of blood glucose in Hodgkin's disease

Subjects with Hodgkin's disease and an initial blood glucose greater than 115 mg/dL had an impressively shorter survival than those with a glucose below that level. The same is true if the groups are formed from those having glucose above or below 100. The correlation between glucose and survival persisted after allowing for the survival effects of histology, stage, symptom class, and age.
