NCT ID NCT07349199
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at how well Danish hospitals followed official guidelines for managing blood sugar in people with diabetes who had major, non-cardiac surgery. Researchers reviewed records from over 13,000 patients treated between 2017 and 2023. They focused on whether the right amount of insulin was given when blood sugar was too high, aiming to identify gaps in care and improve patient safety.
