Glycemic Control Based on Serum Fructosamine Concentration vs. hemoglobinA1c (HbA1c) in Diabetic Patients

Completed
Conditions
Diabetes
Registration Number
NCT04079660
Lead Sponsor
Ohio State University
Brief Summary

Diabetes mellitus is associated with negative outcomes in patients undergoing surgery. Blood sugar levels are monitored by measuring a values that include but are not limited to hemoglobin A1c, capillary blood glucose, and fructosamine . This study is being done to investigate if there is an associated between these values and postsurgical outcomes.

Detailed Description

This study aims to compare the predictive capacity of both fructosamine and HbA1c on preoperative basal glucose level, as well as adverse events (cardiovascular events, surgical site infection, and mortality) and length of post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) stay in both Type I and Type II diabetic patients. Secondary outcomes include length of anesthesia administration, an indicator of intraoperative complications, and perioperative glucose level.
