Values represent mean (SE) in age, BMI, Acute Physiologic Score and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) score, blood glucose, and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score on admission to ICU. P-values represent the comparison between diabetic (n = 33) and non-diabetic patients (n = 43). Creatinine clearance = (140 - age(yr))*weight(kg))/(72*serum Cr(mg/dL)) (multiply by 0.85 for women) [34].
