Intensity of peri-operative glycemic control and postoperative outcomes in patients with diabetes: a meta-analysis

Conclusions: Pooled results suggest that in patients with diabetes, a moderate peri-operative glycemic target (150–200mg/dl [5.6–8.3mmol/l]) is associated with reduction in postoperative mortality and stroke compared with a liberal target (>200mg/dl [11.1mmol/l]), whereas no significant additional benefit was found with more strict glycemic control (
