Implication of DM on ICU Admitted Patients: A Study of 582 Cases

Key Points

• This research aims to explore how diabetes mellitus (DM) affects outcomes for patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
• Analyzed data from 582 cases of patients admitted to the ICU with diabetes mellitus
• Assessed the effects of glycemic control on patient outcomes and complications
• Performed statistical analyses to determine the significance of DM on recovery and mortality rates
• Patients with poorly controlled DM had higher rates of complications compared to those with controlled DM, p<0.05
• Mortality rate was significantly higher in the DM group versus non-DM group, with an odds ratio of 2.3 (95% CI, 1.5-3.5)
• Glycemic levels directly correlated with ICU length of stay, indicating longer recovery times for uncontrolled DM
