Summary
This study looked at over 4,000 ICU patients to find out how many have undiagnosed diabetes or prediabetes. Researchers used a blood test (HbA1c) to check blood sugar control and tracked whether these conditions led to more organ failure or death. The goal is to better understand the true impact of hidden blood sugar problems in critically ill patients.
