Risk Factors of Intraoperative Dysglycemia in Elderly Surgical Patients [PDF]
BACKGROUNDː Dysglycemia is associated with adverse outcome including increased morbidity and mortality in surgical patients. Acute insulin resistance due to the surgical stress response is seen as a major cause of so-called stress hyperglycemia. However,
