Abstract

Objective: To study relationship between blood glucose level and mortality, morbidity and length of picu stay in critically ill children ≥ 1 month to ≤ 10 years of age. Methods: Glycemia was determined using Accu-Chek (Roche Inc., Manheim, Germany) at the bedside, with blood being usually collected by finger prick. Glycemia results were provided either in mmol/L or mg/dL units. To simplify the analysis, all mg/dL values were converted into mmol/L by multiplying them by 0.0555. Result: Total 200 critically ill children were included in our study, one fourty one patients were having hyperglycemia (70.5%), ten were having hypoglycaemia (5%), fourty nine were having normoglycemia (49%). Conclusion: We demonstrated that hyperglycemic patients were more prevalent among critically ill children and are at higher risk for mortality, increased length of PICU stay, high PRISM SCORE III.
