Prospective External Validation of an Algorithm Predicting Hourly Basal Insulin Infusion Rates from Characteristics of Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Treated with Insulin Pumps
Conclusion In conclusion, when testing fasting glycemic control with an
algorithm-derived individual basal insulin infusion profile during a
24 h fasting period in a cohort unrelated in terms of the hospital
environment and catchment area, the success rate was lower than a pre-defined
threshold for concluding utility of this algorithm. Therefore, applying this
algorithm in order to initiate or optimize basal insulin infusion profiles in
type 1 diabetes cannot be generally recommended. [...] Georg Thieme Verlag KG Rüdigerstraße 14, 70469 Stuttgart, GermanyArticle in Thieme eJournals: Table of contents | Abstract | Full text
