The prevalence of hyperglycemia and its association with perioperative outcomes in gynecologic surgery: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Preoperative hyperglycemia has been associated with perioperative morbidity in general surgery patients. Additionally, preoperative hyperglycemia may indicate underlying impaired glucose metabolism. Thus, identification of preoperative hyperglycemia may provide an opportunity to mitigate both short-term surgical and long-term health risk. We aimed to study this phenomenon specifically in the gynecologic surgery population. Specifically, we aimed to evaluate the association between preoperative hyperglycemia and perioperative complications in gynecologic surgery patients and to characterize adherence to diabetes screening guidelines.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study included 913 women undergoing major gynecologic surgery on an enhanced recovery pathway from
