Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that a liberal blood glucose strategy (121-180 mg/dL) is not inferior to a strict blood glucose strategy (90-120 mg/dL) for outcomes in patients after first-time isolated coronary artery bypass grafting and is superior for glucose control and target blood glucose management. METHODS: A total of 189 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting were investigated in this prospective randomized study to compare 2 glucose control strategies on patient perioperative outcomes. Three methods of analyses (intention to treat, completer, and per protocol) were conducted. Observed power was robust (>80%) for significant results. RESULTS: The groups were similar on preoperative hemoglobin A(1c) and number of diabetic patients. The liberal group was found to be non-inferior to the strict group for perioperative complications and superior on glucose control and target range management. The liberal group had significantly fewer patients with hypoglycemic events (<60 mg/dL; P < .001), but severe hypoglycemic events (<40 mg/dL) were rare and no group differences were found (P = .23). These results were found with all 3 methods of analysis except for blood glucose variability, maximum blood glucose, and perioperative atrial fibrillation. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that maintenance of blood glucose in a liberal range after coronary artery bypass grafting led to similar outcomes compared with a strict target range and was superior in glucose control and target range management. On the basis of the results of this study, a target blood glucose range of 121 to 180 mg/dL is recommended for patients after coronary artery bypass grafting as advocated by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
