Admission Blood Glucose Is Associated With the 30-Days Mortality in Septic Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Sepsis, as one of the severe diseases, is frequently observed in critically ill patients, especially concurrent with diabetes. Whether admission blood glucose is associated with the prognosis, and outcome of septic patients is still debatable. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed and analyzed the demographic characteristics of septic patients in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC III, version 1.4) between June 2001 and October 2012. The Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were used for the comparison of qualitative variables among septic patients with different glucose levels and the 30-day mortality in septic patients with diabetes or not. Univariate and stepwise multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to determine the risk factors
