Role Of Stress Induced Hyperglycemia On The Outcome Of Trauma Patients
In Brief
An observational study for Trauma and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 300 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The clinical relevance of the observed stress induced hyperglycemia in trauma patients remains unclear. The earlier studies suggested the implications of cytokines in stress induced hyperglycemia and the outcomes after trauma. To date, there is little information available regarding the effect of diabetic hyperglycemia (occult or known) on outcomes after trauma and whether these patients represent a distinct group with differential outcomes when compared to those with stress-induced hyperglycemia. Herein, the purpose of this study is to identify the incidence of stress induced hyperglycemia as well as diabetic hyperglycemia in trauma patients and to investigate the association between proinflammatory cytokine levels and hyperglycemia in our trauma population.
