Prevalence of dysglycemia following paediatric cardiac surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Share

1

Postoperative dysglycemia occurs in approximately 68.6% of pediatric cardiac surgery patients, primarily as hyperglycemia.
2

Hyperglycemia accounts for 71.2% of dysglycemia cases, while hypoglycemia is observed in 8.1% of patients.
3

The pooled mean ICU stay for dysglycemic patients is 180.3 hours, with a mean mechanical ventilation duration of 94.6 hours.
4

Prevalence of dysglycemia is higher in Asia and North America (~75%) compared to Europe (45.2%), though not statistically significant.
5

The study emphasizes the need for standardized glucose monitoring and definitions of dysglycemia in pediatric cardiac surgery.
