Abstract

Perioperative hyperglycemia is common after cardiac surgery, reported in 60% to 90% of patients with diabetes and in approximately 60% of patients without history of diabetes. Many observational and prospective randomized trials in critically-ill cardiac surgery patients support a strong association between hyperglycemia and poor clinical outcome. Despite ongoing debate about the optimal glucose target, there is strong agreement that improved glycemic control reduces perioperative complications.

  • Moving from hospital to ambulatory or subacute care is a high-risk period for medication errors and also a chance to improve glycemic control and avoid clinical inertia.

    “The transition of persons from the hospital to ambulatory or subacute settings is a high-risk period for medication errors, but also an opportunity to improve glycemic control, avoiding what is often termed clinical inertia.102,1285,1286,1380”

    From American Association of Clinical Endocrinology Clinical Practice Guideline: Developing a Diabetes Mellitus Comprehensive Care Plan-2022 Update. (2022) · cites this paper as [1286]

    The “Management of Diabetes After Hospital Discharge” section (page not provided) calls discharge an opportunity to address glycemic control and adjust diabetes therapy. It does not identify the hospital-to-ambulatory or subacute transition as a high-risk period for medication errors or discuss clinical inertia. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
