The Association of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Metrics with Hospital-Related Clinical Outcomes in Nonintensive Care Units
Authors' conclusion
CGM can be useful in identifying patients at risk of inpatient hypoglycemia and 30-day ED visits.
Study context
- Population
- Hospitalized adults on non-ICU floors
- Participants
- 326 adults
- Outcome
- Association between CGM metrics and clinical outcomes (infection, DKA, renal replacement therapy, thrombosis, 30-day post-discharge readmissions and ED visits)
Methodological detailsblinded continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) (Dexcom G6 Pro)
- Blinded CGM (Dexcom G6 Pro)
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
CGM metrics and clinical outcomes
- Median % TIR 70-180 mg/dL (IQR)
- 44.5% (17.1, 70.2%)
- Median % TAR >180 mg/dL (IQR)
- 54.8% (28.8, 82.3%)
- Median % TBR
- 0.6% (0, 0.2%)
- 30-day emergency department (ED) visits associated with increased %TAR
- P = 0.01
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Predictors of CGM-detected severe hypoglycemia
- Predictors: T1D, female gender, lower admission hemoglobin, lower HbA1c, longer hospital stay
