About this study

Official title: Newly Diagnosed Hyperglycemia and Stress Hyperglycemia in a Coronary Intensive Care Unit

Newly diagnosed hyperglycemia (NDH) and stress hyperglycemia (SH) during acute illness is reported as a non-physiological condition in hospitals. The investigators aim is to determine the rate of NDH and SH among cases admitted to coronary ICU with acute coronary disease and to inquire the relationship of SH with disease severity and functional outcomes such as longevity of ICU stay.

Read the detailed description

Patients with acute coronary heart disease admitted to the emergency room will be recruited consecutively. Admission plasma glucose (APG) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG); the first morning after admission, measurements will be obtained and each participant will be subjected to capillary glucose measurement (CGM) every six hours within the first day.

Patients will be separated into 4 groups:

GROUP 1: Normoglycemic cases GROUP 2: Newly diagnosed hyperglycemic cases Group 2a: Unrecognized diabetes, hbA1c: >6.0% Group 2b: Stress hyperglycemia <6.0%. GROUP 3: Known diabetes Age, gender, co-morbidities on admission, adverse outcomes in hospital, duration of stay in coronary ICU, deaths, drugs, and glucose levels will be all recorded.

Throughout the hospital stay of Group 2 and Group 3, CGMs were performed and treated when necessary (target glucose<180mg/dl).

Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE-II); a severity of disease classification system was used for each case.

Being tested
Insulin

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • InsulinDrug

    Capillary glucose measurements of Group 2 and Group 3 will be performed during hospitalization and will be treated when they are over 180mg/dl.

    Short acting oral anti-diabetic drugs will be given to patients who refuse insulin injection.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine the prevalence of newly diagnosed hyperglycemia in coronary ICU.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To search for the cases with stress hyperglycemia and inquire its relationship with disease severity and functional outcomes, such as longevity of ICU stay.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine the prevalence of newly diagnosed hyperglycemia in coronary ICU.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00984737, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
