Coefficient of glucose variation is independently associated with mortality in critically ill patients receiving intravenous insulin.
The researchers studied the association between coefficient of variation of glucose and mortality and also whether the association between glycemic variability and mortality was independent of hypoglycemia and other patient attributes. They found that blood glucose coefficient of variation was associated with 30-day mortality both in diabetic as well as in non-diabetic patients. The association was independent of hypoglycemia, blood glucose target, age, disease severity, and comorbidities.
