BACKGROUND Cross-sectional data on inpatient glucose control in a large sample of US hospitals are now available, but little is known about changes in glycemic control over time in these institutions. OBJECTIVE To evaluate trends in glycemic control in US hospitals over 2 years. DESIGN Retrospective analysis. METHODS Point-of-care blood glucose (POC-BG) test results at 126 hospitals during January to December 2007 and January to December 2009 were extracted using the Remote Automated…

Benchmarking glycemic control in u.s. Hospitals.
TLDR
In this largest POC-BG data set analysis conducted to date, glycemic control varied according to hospital characteristics, and national benchmarking of inpatient glucose data will need to consider differences in hospital characteristics.
Statistical transformation and the interpretation of inpatient glucose control data.
TLDR
Statistical transformations increase the normal behavior of inpatient non-ICU glycemic data sets, and the decision to transform glucose data could influence the interpretation and conclusions about the status of in patient glycemic control.
Using the Glucometrics Website to Benchmark ICU Glucose Control Before and After the NICE-SUGAR Study
TLDR
The results suggest that glycemic control in US ICUs has improved when comparing time periods before versus after publication of the NICE-SUGAR study, and found no evidence that fewer hypoglycemic events were achieved at the expense of more hyperglycemia.
Statistical Transformation and the Interpretation of Inpatient Glucose Control Data From the Intensive Care Unit
TLDR
Using statistical methods to assess population-based glucose control in the intensive care unit could alter conclusions about the effectiveness of care processes for managing hyperglycemia.
Addressing Inpatient Glycaemic Control with an Inpatient Glucometry Alert System
TLDR
An alert system to process point-of-care blood glucose results reduced the percentage of hyperglycaemic patient-day weighted glucose values and the time-to-normalization of blood glucose.
Point-of-Care Blood Glucose Testing for Diabetes Care in Hospitalized Patients
TLDR
Point-of-care blood glucose monitoring devices have become the mainstay of near-patient glucose monitoring in hospitals across the world and their clinical value for managing inpatients with diabetes remains unchallenged.
Evidence-based therapeutics for hyperglycemia in hospitalized noncritically ill patients
TLDR
This review aims to summarize the different treatment strategies for hyperglycemia in hospitalized noncritical patients that are supported by observational studies or clinical trials with insulin and non-insulin drugs and proposes a protocol to help with the management of this important clinical problem.
Capillary blood glucose monitoring, inpatient hypoglycaemia and quality of care
TLDR
It is shown a quality improvement package can produce sustained reduction of time to repeat (TTR) and is a marker of treatment quality in hypoglycaemia and is suboptimal.

TLDR
Hyperglycemia is common in hospitals in the United States, and glycemic control may vary on the basis of hospital characteristics, according to point-of-care bedside glucose test results extracted from 575 hospitals from January 2009 to December 2009.
Inpatient glucose control: a glycemic survey of 126 U.S. hospitals.
TLDR
POC-BG data captured through automated data management software can support hospital efforts to monitor the status of inpatient glycemic control and facilitate the creation of a national benchmarking process for the development of best practices and improved inpatient hyperglycemia management.
Evaluation of hospital glycemic control at US academic medical centers.
TLDR
Despite frequent insulin use, glucose control was suboptimal and academic medical centers have opportunities to improve care to meet current American Diabetes Association hospital diabetes care standards.
Inpatient point-of-care bedside glucose testing: preliminary data on use of connectivity informatics to measure hospital glycemic control.
TLDR
POC-BG data can be captured through automated data management software and can support hospital efforts to evaluate and monitor the status of inpatient glycemic control, and suggest that there is a need to conduct broad-based efforts to improve inpatient glucose management.
Inpatient management of diabetes and hyperglycemia among general medicine patients at a large teaching hospital.
TLDR
Management of diabetes and hyperglycemia on a general medicine service showed several deficiencies in process and outcome, and possible targets for improvement include increased use of basal and nutritional insulin and daily insulin adjustment in response to hyper glycemia.
Diabetes and hyperglycemia quality improvement efforts in hospitals in the United States: current status, practice variation, and barriers to implementation.
TLDR
Hospitals are addressing the issue of inpatient diabetes and glycemic control but face obstacles to implementation of quality improvement programs and vary in their approach to management, according to a survey of hospitals in the United States.
Intensive versus conventional glucose control in critically ill patients.
TLDR
In this large, international, randomized trial, it was found that intensive glucose control increased mortality among adults in the ICU: a blood glucose target of 180 mg or less per deciliter resulted in lower mortality than did a target of 81 to 108 mg perDeciliter.
Assessing Inpatient Glycemic Control: What are the Next Steps?
TLDR
Some of the questions that need to be resolved through consensus and review of the evidence are reviewed, and some of the limitations in analyzing and reporting inpatient glucose data that must be addressed (or at least accepted as limitations) are discussed.
Severe hypoglycemia in critically ill patients: Risk factors and outcomes*
TLDR
Case-control methodology and multivariable logistic regression analysis concurred that even a single episode of severe hypoglycemia was independently associated with increased risk of mortality and safe implementation of tight glycemic control requires appropriate monitoring to reduce the risk of this complication.
A prospective randomised multi-centre controlled trial on tight glucose control by intensive insulin therapy in adult intensive care units: the Glucontrol study
TLDR
In this prematurely stopped and therefore underpowered study, there was a lack of clinical benefit of intensive insulin therapy, associated with an increased incidence of hypoglycaemia, as compared to a 7.8–10.0 mmol/L target.
