Multicenter Study
Intraoperative hypoglycemia among adults with intraoperative glucose measurements: a cross-sectional multicentre retrospective cohort study.
Intraoperative hypoglycemia is presumed to be rare, but generalizable multicentre incidence and risk factor data for adult patients are lacking. We used a multicentre registry to characterize adults with intraoperative hypoglycemia and hypothesized that intraoperative insulin administration would be associated with hypoglycemia. ⋯ In this large cross-sectional retrospective multicentre cohort study, intraoperative hypoglycemia was a rare event. Intraoperative insulin use was not associated with hypoglycemia.
