The optimal glycemic target in critically ill patients: an updated network meta-analysis

Abstract Acute glycemic control significantly affects the clinical outcomes of critically ill patients. This updated network meta-analysis examines the benefits and harms of four target blood glucose levels (< 110, 110–144, 144–180, and > 180 mg/dL). Analyzing data of 27,541 patients from 37 t...

description Abstract Acute glycemic control significantly affects the clinical outcomes of critically ill patients. This updated network meta-analysis examines the benefits and harms of four target blood glucose levels (< 110, 110–144, 144–180, and > 180 mg/dL). Analyzing data of 27,541 patients from 37 trials, the surface under the cumulative ranking curve for mortality and hypoglycemia was highest at a target blood glucose level of 144–180 mg/dL, while for infection and acute kidney injury at 110–144 mg/dL. Further evidence is needed to determine whether 110–144 or 144–180 mg/dL is superior as an optimal glucose target, considering prioritized outcomes.
