The prevalence of hyperglycemia and its association with perioperative outcomes in gynecologic surgery: a retrospective cohort study

ConclusionIn our study cohort, the prevalence of hyperglycemia was low and was not associated with higher risk of composite or wound-specific complications. However, adherence to diabetes screening guidelines was poor. Future studies should aim to develop a preoperative blood glucose testing strategy that balances the low utility of universal glucose screening with the benefit of diagnosing impaired glucose metabolism in at-risk individuals.
