The impact of type 2 diabetes and glycaemic control on mortality and clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in the capital region of Denmark. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26:160-168. [PMID: 37799010 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/07/2023]
Abstract
AIM To explore the impact of type 2 diabetes (T2D), glycaemic control and use of glucose-lowering medication on clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. MATERIALS AND METHODS For all patients admitted to a hospital in the Capital Region of Denmark (1 March 2020 to 1 December 2021) with confirmed COVID-19, we extracted data on mortality, admission to intensive care unit (ICU), demographics, comorbidities, medication use and laboratory tests from the electronic health record system. We compared patients with T2D to patients without diabetes using Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for available confounding variables. Outcomes were 30-day mortality and admission to an ICU. For patients with T2D, we also analysed the association of baseline haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and use of specific glucose-lowering medications with the outcomes. RESULTS In total, 4430 patients were analysed, 1236 with T2D and 2194 without diabetes. The overall 30-day mortality was 19% (n = 850) and 10% (n = 421) were admitted to an ICU. Crude analyses showed that patients with T2D both had increased mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 1.37; 95% CI 1.19-1.58] and increased risk of ICU admission (HR 1.28; 95% CI 1.04-1.57). When adjusted for available confounders, this discrepancy was attenuated for both mortality (adjusted HR 1.13; 95% CI 0.95-1.33) and risk of ICU admission (adjusted HR 1.01; 95% CI 0.79-1.29). Neither baseline haemoglobin A1c nor specific glucose-lowering medication use were significantly associated with the outcomes. CONCLUSION Among those hospitalized for COVID-19, patients with T2D did not have a higher risk of death and ICU admission, when adjusting for confounders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Hyperglycemia is a condition often found in hospitalized patients due to stress injury, parenteral nutrition or medications administered during hospitalization. According to previous studies, hyperglycemia could be an independent predictor of mortality. The objective of the study is to assess the risk of mortality in non-diabetic patients with hyperglycemia during hospitalization. METHODS In this systematic review, we conducted literature reviews on several databases. Twelve studies were retrieved and critically reviewed using NOS. RESULTS A majority of the studies reported that hospital related hyperglycemia increased the mortality rate. CONCLUSIONS Hospital related hyperglycemia is an independent predictor factor for both in-hospital and long-term mortality.

Diabetes Ther 2021; 12:2451-2469. [PMID: 34350563 PMCID: PMC8384991 DOI: 10.1007/s13300-021-01122-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2021] [Accepted: 07/16/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION To evaluate insulin injection knowledge, attitudes, and practices of nurses across China in order to provide reference for the formulation of a national unified standard of insulin injection practice and the targeted implementation of standardized training on insulin injection for nurses. METHODS We enrolled nurses who worked and injected insulin at grassroot hospitals including community health service centers and township clinics, secondary and tertiary care hospitals across China between July 28, 2019 and August 30, 2019. A nurse insulin injection knowledge, attitude, and practice questionnaire was used to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice level of nurses. RESULTS A total of 223,368 nurses were included in the study. The mean knowledge score was 13.70 ± 3.30 and 35.19% had a poor knowledge score. The mean attitude score was 17.18 ± 2.69 for the study nurses; merely 3.15% had a poor attitude score. The mean practice score of the study population was 83.03 ± 8.16 and only 0.88% had a poor practice score. Pearson correlation analysis showed significant correlation between the knowledge score and the attitude score (r = 0.29; P < 0.001), the knowledge score and the practice score (r = 0.27; P < 0.001), and between the attitude score and the practice score (r = 0.56; P < 0.001). A multivariate analysis revealed that nurses with higher knowledge scores were also more likely to have higher attitude scores and practice scores, and nurses with higher attitude scores were also more likely to have higher practice scores. CONCLUSION Chinese nurses have a good attitude and behavior towards insulin injection, while their knowledge of insulin injection is insufficient. It is also revealed that knowledge of insulin injection can directly or indirectly affect insulin injection behavior through attitude, indicating that hospitals should formulate unified insulin injection norms and regularly organize relevant training and assessment so as to improve nurses' knowledge, attitude, and behavior of insulin injection.

Abstract
Objective: In this descriptive study, we evaluated perceptions and knowledge of inpatient glycemic control among resident physicians. Methods: We performed this study at four academic medical centers: the University of Mississippi Medical Center, University of Virginia Health System, University of Louisville Health Sciences Center, and Emory University. We designed a questionnaire, and Institutional Review Board approval was granted at each institution prior to study initiation. We then administered the questionnaire to Internal Medicine and Medicine-Pediatric resident physicians. Results: A total of 246 of 438 (56.2%) eligible resident physicians completed the Inpatient Glycemic Control Questionnaire (IGCQ). Most respondents (85.4%) reported feeling comfortable treating and managing inpatient hyperglycemia, and a majority (66.3%) agreed they had received adequate education. Despite self-reported comfort with knowledge, only 51.2% of respondents could identify appropriate glycemic targets in critically ill patients. Only 45.5% correctly identified appropriate inpatient random glycemic target values in noncritically ill patients, and only 34.1% of respondents knew appropriate preprandial glycemic targets in noncritically ill patients. A small majority (54.1%) were able to identify the correct fingerstick glucose value that defines hypoglycemia. System issues were the most commonly cited barrier to successful inpatient glycemic control. Conclusion: Most respondents reported feeling comfortable managing inpatient hyperglycemia but had difficulty identifying appropriate inpatient glycemic target values. Future interventions could utilize the IGCQ as a pre- and postassessment tool and focus on early resident education along with improving system environments to aid in successful inpatient glycemic control.

Abstract
Introduction Sound knowledge and good practice on insulin injection technique are essential for nurses in order to administer insulin correctly and to educate patients or their relatives adequately. This study aimed to assess the insulin injection practice through the use of insulin pen among nurses working in a tertiary healthcare center of Nepal. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 67 nurses working in one of the tertiary healthcare centers of Nepal. Demographic information and insulin injection practice of nurses through the use of insulin pen were assessed using self-administered questionnaire. Each correct practice was scored “1” and incorrect practice was scored “0.” Results. The median (IQR) insulin injection practice score of nurses was 11 (9-12) out of 16. Thirty-seven (55.2%) nurses store insulin pen filled with insulin cartridge at room temperature while 57 (85.1%) nurses store unopened cartridge at refrigerator (2-8°C). The practice of hand washing and injection site cleaning was mentioned by 92.5% and 82.1% of the nurses, respectively. However, just over half of the nurses mix the premix (cloudy) insulin and prime insulin pen before each injection. Thirty-four (50.7%) nurses do not lift skin during injection and more than half of the nurses keep needle beneath the skin for less than 5 seconds after completely injecting the required dose of insulin. One out of ten nurses massage injection site after injecting insulin. Most of the nurses (86.6%) use single needle more than once and the median (IQR) frequency of needle reuse was 6 (3-12). Similarly, systematic site rotation was performed by 59 (88.1%) nurses and twenty (29.9%) nurses claim that they use single insulin pen for two different cartridges. Conclusion The insulin injection practice of nurses assessed through the use of insulin pen was suboptimal and highlights the need for urgent educational intervention.

Abstract
Perioperative hyperglycaemia is associated with poor outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Frequent postoperative hyperglycaemia in cardiac surgery patients has led to the initiation of an insulin infusion sliding scale for quality improvement. A systematic review was conducted to determine whether a protocol-directed insulin infusion sliding scale is as safe and effective as a conventional practitioner-directed insulin infusion sliding scale, within target blood glucose ranges. A literature survey was conducted to identify reports on the effectiveness and safety of an insulin infusion protocol, using seven electronic databases from 2000 to 2012: MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, the Joanna Briggs Institute Library and SIGLE. Data were extracted using pre-determined systematic review and meta-analysis criteria. Seven research studies met the inclusion criteria. There was an improvement in overall glycaemic control in five of these studies. The implementation of protocols led to the achievement of blood glucose concentration targets more rapidly and the maintenance of a specified target blood glucose range for a longer time, without any increased frequency of hyperglycaemia. Of the seven studies, four used controls and three had no controls. In terms of the meta-analysis carried out, four studies revealed a failure of patients reaching target blood glucose levels (P < 0.0005) in the control group compared with patients in the protocol group. The risk of hypoglycaemia was significantly reduced (P <0.00001) between studies. It can be concluded that the protocol-directed insulin infusion sliding scale is safe and improves blood glucose control when compared with the conventional practitioner-directed insulin infusion sliding scale. This study supports the adoption of a protocol-directed insulin infusion sliding scale as a standard of care for post-cardiac surgery patients.

Abstract
Hypoglycaemia is rare in healthy individuals owing to the numerous elegant hormonal and neuronal mechanisms that maintain glucose homeostasis. Glucose is an obligate metabolic fuel for cerebral tissue and therefore hypoglycaemia, if uncorrected, can have disastrous consequences including death. Clinical hypoglycaemia is defined as a plasma (or serum) glucose concentration low enough to cause symptoms and/or signs, including impairment of brain function. However, no single plasma (or serum) glucose concentration categorically defines hypoglycaemia. Hypoglycaemia is probably the most common endocrine and metabolic emergency in clinical practice. The overwhelming majority of occurrences of hypoglycaemia occur in patients with diabetes, either as a result of treatment-induced hypoglycaemia and/or abnormalities that affect the normal counterregulatory response to hypoglycaemia. The differential for nondiabetes-associated hypoglycaemia is broad and includes insulinoma, drugs, hormone deficiencies, and critical illness. The acute management of hypoglycaemia is discussed along with a review of the pathophysiology and aetiology of this commonly encountered clinical problem.
