Intensive versus Conventional Glucose Control in Critically Ill Patients
The NICE-SUGAR Study Investigators 

ABSTRACT 
Background The optimal target range for blood glucose in critically ill 
patients remains unclear. 
Methods Within 24 hours after admission to an intensive care unit (ICU), 
adults who were expected to require treatment in the ICU on 3 or more 
consecutive days were randomly assigned to undergo either intensive 
glucose control, with a target blood glucose range of 81 to 108 mg per 
deciliter (4.5 to 6.0 mmol per liter), or conventional glucose control, 
with a target of 180 mg or less per deciliter (10.0 mmol or less per 
liter). We defined the primary end point as death from any cause within 90 
days after randomization. 
Results Of the 6104 patients who underwent randomization, 3054 were 
assigned to undergo intensive control and 3050 to undergo conventional 
control; data with regard to the primary outcome at day 90 were available 
for 3010 and 3012 patients, respectively. The two groups had similar 
characteristics at baseline. A total of 829 patients (27.5%) in the 
intensive-control group and 751 (24.9%) in the conventional-control group 
died (odds ratio for intensive control, 1.14; 95% confidence interval, 
1.02 to 1.28; P=0.02). The treatment effect did not differ significantly 
between operative (surgical) patients and nonoperative (medical) patients 
(odds ratio for death in the intensive-control group, 1.31 and 1.07, 
respectively; P=0.10). Severe hypoglycemia (blood glucose level, 40 mg per 
deciliter [2.2 mmol per liter]) was reported in 206 of 3016 patients 
(6.8%) in the intensive-control group and 15 of 3014 (0.5%) in the 
conventional-control group (P<0.001). There was no significant difference 
between the two treatment groups in the median number of days in the ICU 
(P=0.84) or hospital (P=0.86) or the median number of days of mechanical 
ventilation (P=0.56) or renal-replacement therapy (P=0.39). 
Conclusions In this large, international, randomized trial, we found that 
intensive glucose control increased mortality among adults in the ICU: a 
blood glucose target of 180 mg or less per deciliter resulted in lower 
mortality than did a target of 81 to 108 mg per deciliter.

Intensive glucose control ineffective in ICU patients
Clinical question 
Does tight control of blood glucose improve survival of patients in a 
medical surgical intensive care unit?
Bottom line 
Tight control of blood glucose levels -- 80 mg/dL to 110 mg/dL (4.4-6.1 
mmol/L) -- did not decrease mortality or other measured outcomes in 
patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with hyperglycemia. 
Hypoglycemia was much more common and was associated with an increased 
mortality. A meta-analysis has found similar results. (LOE = 1b)

Synopsis 
The Saudi Arabian investigators conducting this study enrolled 523 adults 
in a medical surgical ICU. The unit was closed and covered at all times by 
an intensivist. The patients (75% men) did not have type 1 diabetes, 
though 40% had a history of type 2 diabetes. The average blood glucose 
level was 194 mg/dL (10.8 mmol/L) in the intensive insulin group and 210 
mg/dL (11.7 mmol/L) in the conventional insulin group. Most of the 
patients were nonoperative and were critically ill; 85% were mechanically 
ventilated and 65% were receiving vasopressors, with a mortality rate was 
approximately 15%. All patients received an infusion of regular insulin 
and were randomly assigned, using concealed allocation, to have their 
blood glucose maintained at 80 mg/dL to 110 mg/dL (4.4 - 6.1 mmol/L) in 
the intensive insulin group and 180 mg/dL to 200 mg/dL (10.0-11.1 mmol/L) 
in the conventional treatment group. Analysis was by intention to treat. 
The main outcome, in-ICU mortality, was not different between the 2 
groups. At least one episode of hypoglycemia occurred in 28.6% of patients 
in the tight control group and 3.1% of patients in the conventional 
treatment group. In-ICU mortality was higher among those who had 
hypoglycemia (23.8% vs 13.7%; P = .02). There was no difference in 
in-hospital mortality, ICU or hospital length of stay, ventilation 
duration, infections, or the need for transfusion. These results are 
similar to those found in a previous meta-analysis (JAMA 
2008;300(8):933-944).
