Association of obesity and body mass index classification with glycemic control in adults who are critically ill receiving parenteral nutrition: A retrospective study
Patients who are critically ill with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m<sup>2</sup> receiving PN received more conservative dextrose infusion rates yet experienced more hyperglycemic episodes and required more insulin on day 2. However, obesity and BMI classification were not independently associated with hyperglycemic episodes within the first 2 days of PN initiation.
