Univariate analysis of potential confounding variables between glucose and outcome (% with favorable outcome) when children were categorized into glycemic groups (Early – first 48 h; Late 49 – 168 h; normal (NG) – peak glucose < 150 mg/dl; mild hyperglycemia (MHG) – peak glucose ≤ 200 mg/dl; severe hyperglycemia (SHG) – peak glucose > 200 mg/dl).
