Perioperative Insulin Pump Therapy Decreases Readmission Risk and Improves Outcomes in Patients with Diabetes
Conclusion Temporary use of insulin pump therapy for perioperative
patients with diabetes results in a reduction in blood glucose and blood glucose
fluctuation during hospitalization, HbA1c, and the risk of postoperative
complication and readmission, thus significantly decreasing costs in this
complex patient cohort. Further work is needed to better understand indications
for utilizing pump therapy based on diabetes phenotype and the complexity of
planned surgical intervention. [...] Georg Thieme Verlag KG Rüdigerstraße 14, 70469 Stuttgart, GermanyArticle in Thieme eJournals: Table of contents | Abstract | Full text
