Postoperative short-term mortality between insulin-treated and non-insulin-treated patients with diabetes after non-cardiac surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetes mellitus is an independent risk factor for postoperative complications. It has been reported that insulin-treated diabetes is associated with increased postoperative mortality compared to non-insulin-treated diabetes after cardiac surgery; however, it is unclear whether this finding is applicable to non-cardiac surgery.

Objective

We aimed to assess the effects of insulin-treated and non-insulin-treated diabetes on short-term mortality after non-cardiac surgery.

Methods

Our study was a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies. PubMed, CENTRAL, EMBASE, and ISI Web of Science databases were searched from inception to February 22, 2021. Cohort or case-control studies that provided information on postoperative short-term mortality in
