Abstract
BACKGROUND: Hyperglycemia is a complication of parenteral nutrition (PN), which can be exacerbated in patients with obesity. Limited data exist on glycemic control in this population. This study aims to evaluate the association of obesity and body mass index (BMI) classification with glycemic control in patients who are critically ill initiated receiving PN.
METHODS: This is a retrospective study of patients who are critically ill receiving PN from January 2013 to February 2024. The primary outcome was glycemic control in patients with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m
RESULTS: The study included 220 patients with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m
CONCLUSION: Patients who are critically ill with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m
