This prospective, observational study was performed in the medical-surgical ICU of a single
hospital within a large multi-specialty healthcare system.

The primary objective of the study was to assess the availability and clinical value of
blood glucose testing at the time of ICU admission after testing was implemented as routine
care in the ICU.
