- Background The prevalence of chronic dysglycemia (diabetes and prediabetes) in patients admitted to Swedish intensive care units (ICUs) is unknown. We aimed to determine the prevalence of such chronic dysglycemia and asses its impact on blood glucose control and patient-centered outcomes in critically ill patients. Methods In this retrospective observational cohort study, we obtained glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in patients admitted to four tertiary ICUs in Sweden between March and August 2016. Based on previous diabetes history and HbA1c we determined the prevalence of chronic dysglycemia. We used multivariable regression analyses to study the association of chronic dysglycemia with the time-weighted average blood glucose concentration, glycemic lability index (GLI), and development of hypoglycemia (co-primary outcomes), and with ICU length of stay, mechanical ventilation duration, renal replacement therapy (RRT) use, vasopressor use, ICU-acquired infections, and mortality (exploratory clinical outcomes). Results Of 943 patients, 312 (33%) had chronic dysglycemia. Of these 312 patients, 84 (27%) had prediabetes, 43 (14%) had undiagnosed diabetes and 185 (59%) had known diabetes. Chronic dysglycemia was independently associated with higher time-weighted average blood glucose concentration (P < .001), higher GLI (P < .001), and hypoglycemia (P < .001). Chronic dysglycemia was independently associated with RRT use (adjusted odds ratio 1.97, 95% CI 1.24-3.13,P = .004) but not with other exploratory clinical outcomes. Conclusions In four tertiary Swedish ICUs, measurement of HbA1c showed that one-third of patients had chronic dysglycemia. Chronic dysglycemia was associated with marked derangements in glycemic control, and a greater need for renal replacement therapy.

- Aims: To study the association between glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and sepsis in adults with type 1 diabetes, and to explore the relationship between HbA1c and mortality among individuals who developed sepsis.Materials and Methods: We included 33 549 adult individuals with type 1 diabetes recorded in the Swedish National Diabetes Register between January 2005 and December 2015. We used multivariable Cox regression and restricted cubic spline analyses to study the relationship between HbA1c values and sepsis occurrence and association between HbA1c and mortality among those with sepsis.Results: In total, 713 (2.1%) individuals developed sepsis during the study period. Com-pared with the HbA1c reference interval of 48-52 mmol/mol (6.5-6.9%), the adjusted hazard ratio for sepsis was: 2.50 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.18-5.29] for HbA1c <43 mmol/mol; 1.88 (95% CI 0.96-3.67) for HbA1c 43-47 mmol/mol; 1.78 (95% CI 1.09-2.89) for HbA1c 53-62 mmol/mol; 1.86 (95% CI 1.14-3.03) for HbA1c 63-72 mmol/mol; 3.15 (95% CI 1.91-5.19) for HbA1c 73-82 mmol/mol; and 4.26 (95% CI 2.53-7.16) for HbA1c >82 mmol/mol. On multivariable restricted cubic spline analy-sis, we found a J-shaped association between HbA1c and sepsis risk, with the lowest risk observed at HbA1c of approximately 53 mmol/mol. We found no association between HbA1c and mortality among those individuals who developed sepsis.Conclusions: In our nationwide observational study of adult individuals with type 1 diabetes we found a J-shaped relationship between HbA1c and risk of sepsis, with the lowest risk at HbA1c levels about 53 mmol/mol (7.0%). HbA1c was not associ-ated with mortality in individuals affected by sepsis.
