Hyperglycemia and glycemic control in critically ill and hospitalized patients

Background: In Denmark, the use of HbA1c in the diagnosis of diabetes was adopted from March 2012. We evaluated the change in the number of diabetes cases diagnosed by haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) versus fasting venous plasma glucose (FPG), and estimated the influence of analytical variation and bias on the HbA1c-based prevalence of diabetes.
