Economic Benefits of Intensive Insulin Therapy in Critically Ill Patients
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to analyze the economic outcomes of a clinical program implemented to achieve strict glycemic control with intensive insulin therapy in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A difference-in-differences (quasi-experimental) study design was used to examine the associations of an intensive insulin therapy interven...

DATA SOURCES Searches of MEDLINE (1966-March 2004) and Cochrane Library, as well as an extensive manual review of abstracts were performed using the key search terms hyperglycemia, insulin, intensive care unit, critically ill, outco...
متن کاملIntensive insulin therapy protects the endothelium of critically ill patients.
The vascular endothelium controls vasomotor tone and microvascular flow and regulates trafficking of nutrients and biologically active molecules. When endothelial activation is excessive, compromised microcirculation and subsequent cellular hypoxia contribute to the risk of organ failure. We hypothesized that strict blood glucose control with insulin during critical illness protects the endothe...
متن کاملBeneficial effects of intensive insulin therapy in critically ill patients.
Critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICU) for more than a few days have a mortality of approximately 20% world-wide. These critically ill patients, in the absence of a previous diagnosis of diabetes, commonly exhibit stress hyperglycemia and insulin resistance [1]. Many of these critically ill patients die of multiorgan dysfunction (MOD) and sepsis. Since stress hyperglycemia has be...
