Abstract
Organ failure is the leading cause of intensive care unit (ICU) mortality. This research evaluates the influence of glycemic variability and hypoglycemia on organ failure rate. The analysis uses data from the Glucontrol study and results show that high glycemic variability and hypoglycemia are both associated with increased SOFA score, and thus increased organ failure rate.
