Acta Anaesthesiol ScandPublished Protocol for a bi-centre cohort study

Study context

Population
Acutely admitted adult ICU patientsplanned
Participants
300 participants
Primary endpoint
Number of patients with hypoglycaemia during ICU stay
Methodological detailsretrospective routine data collection, descriptive analyses, Data collected at baseline (ICU admission) and daily during ICU stay up to a maximum of 30 days, Secondary outcomes: severe hypoglycaemia, hyperglycaemia, time below and above blood glucose target range, all-cause mortality at Day 30, days alive without life support at Day 30, days alive and out of hospital at Day 30, Hypothesis: occurrence of hypoglycaemia lower than that of hyperglycaemia
