Accuracy of continuous glucose monitoring during noncardiac surgery: a prospective, blinded observational multicentre cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hyperglycaemia after noncardiac surgery is rarely detected outside of the critical care environment, yet occurs commonly and is associated with excess complications including infections and myocardial injury. Systematic, prospectively collected data regarding the accuracy of continuous glucose monitoring commenced immediately before surgery and throughout the early perioperative period are lacking.

Methods

We prospectively enrolled patients aged >50 yr undergoing noncardiac surgery who required at least 24 h of hospital stay. We used real-time continuous glucose monitoring (Dexcom G7 sensor, placed in the upper outer arm) (Dexcom, San Diego, CA, USA) with reference values from arterial blood glucose measurements by amperometry. The primary outcome was the overall
