Nice-Sugar Study Investigators,Dean R. Chittock,Steve Su,D. Blair,Denise Foster,Rinaldo Bellomo,Deborah J. Cook,Vinay Dhingra,Peter Dodek,Paul C. Hébert,William R. Henderson,Stephane Heritier,Daren K. Heyland,Colin McArthur,Ellen McDonald,Imogen Mitchell,Robyn Norton,J. Potter,Bruce G. Robinson,Juan J. Ronco +19 more
TL;DR: In this large, international, randomized trial, it was 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 perDeciliter.
Hypoglycemia and risk of death in critically ill patients.
Simon Finfer,Bette Liu,Dean R. Chittock,Robyn Norton,John Myburgh,Colin McArthur,Imogen Mitchell,Denise Foster,Vinay Dhingra,William R. Henderson,Juan J. Ronco,Rinaldo Bellomo,Deborah J. Cook,Ellen McDonald,Peter Dodek,Paul C. Hébert,Daren K. Heyland,Bruce G. Robinson +17 more
TL;DR: In critically ill patients, intensive glucose control leads to moderate and severe hypoglycemia, both of which are associated with an increased risk of death, and the association exhibits a dose-response relationship and is strongest for death from distributive shock.

Intensive versus conventional glucose control in critically ill patients with traumatic brain injury: long-term follow-up of a subgroup of patients from the NICE-SUGAR study.
Simon Finfer,Dean R. Chittock,Yang Li,Denise Foster,Vinay Dhingra,Rinaldo Bellomo,Deborah J. Cook,Peter Dodek,Paul C. Hébert,William Henderson,Daren K. Heyland,Alisa Higgins,Colin McArthur,Imogen Mitchell,John Myburgh,Bruce G. Robinson,Juan Ronco +16 more
TL;DR: Although patients with traumatic brain injury randomly assigned to intensive compared to conventional glucose control experienced moderate and severe hypoglycemia more frequently, it was found no significant difference in clinically important outcomes.

TL;DR: Data indicate that critically ill COVID-19 patients with blood group A or AB are at increased risk for requiring mechanical ventilation, CRRT, and prolonged ICU admission compared with patients withBlood group O or B.

The Burden of Brain Hypoxia and Optimal Mean Arterial Pressure in Patients With Hypoxic Ischemic Brain Injury After Cardiac Arrest
Mypinder S. Sekhon,Peter Gooderham,David K. Menon,Penelope M. A. Brasher,Denise Foster,Danilo Cardim,Marek Czosnyka,Peter Smielewski,Arun K. Gupta,Philip N. Ainslie,Donald E. G. Griesdale +10 more
TL;DR: Episodes of brain hypoxia in hypoxic ischemic brain injury are frequent, and perfusion within proximity of optimal mean arterial pressure is associated with increased brain tissue oxygenation, and pressure reactivity index can yield optimal meanarterial pressure, lower and upper limit of autoregulation in patients following cardiac arrest.
