Advancing Continuous Glucose Monitoring for Inpatient Clinical Decision Support: Individual Algorithmic Mean Absolute Relative Difference

Diabetes CarePublished Retrospective accuracy evaluation and algorithm development study

Authors' conclusion

Patient-specific algorithmic refinements of CGM data demonstrate the potential to adequately address the unique demands of inpatient diabetes care by reducing intrapersonal MARD, paving the way for the adoption of CGM systems into hospital environments.
