Derivation and Validation of a Risk Prediction Tool for Hypoglycemia in Hospitalized Adults with Diabetes: the Hypoglycemia during Hospitalization (HyDHo) Score

ConclusionsA parsimonious risk prediction model that uses five key clinical variables predicts hypoglycemia during hospitalization at the time of admission. More than one-quarter of patients at low risk of hypoglycemia had a score below the threshold. They could be identified at the time of admission by applying the HyDHo Score, and may need less intensive glucose monitoring in hospital.
