Relative Hypoglycemia and Lower Hemoglobin A1c-Adjusted Time in Band Are Strongly Associated With Increased Mortality in Critically Ill Patients

OBJECTIVES: To determine the associations of relative hypoglycemia and hemoglobin A1c-adjusted time in blood glucose (BG) band (HA-TIB) with mortality in critically ill patients. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort investigation. SETTING: University-affiliated adult medical-surgical ICU. PATIENTS: Three thousand six hundred fifty-five patients with at least four BG tests and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level admitted between September 14, 2014, and November 30, 2019. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Patients were stratified for HbA1c bands of
