Patterns and Predictors of Antihyperglycemic Intensification at Hospital Discharge for Type 2 Diabetic Patients Not on Home Insulin

ConclusionAn indication for AHI occurs relatively infrequently among hospitalized patients, but when present, AHI occurs in approximately 1 in 3 discharges. AHI appears to be related largely to the degree of hyperglycemia, and diabetes service involvement. Further studies are needed to understand the implications of AHI at hospital discharge on short and long-term outcomes in this population.
