An Elevated Gap between Admission and A1C-Derived Average Glucose Levels Is Associated with Adverse Outcomes in Diabetic Patients with Pyogenic Liver Abscess

Abstract

A glycemic gap≥72 mg/dL, rather than admission hyperglycemia or chronic glycemic control, was significantly correlated with adverse outcomes in diabetic PLA patients. Poorer chronic glycemic control in diabetic PLA patients is associated with high incidence of KP infection, hypoalbuminemia and longer hospital stay.
