Counts of more favorable continuous IV insulin infusion rate recommendations at time = t i from eProtocol-insulin or Glucosafe, based on three blood glucose categories at time = t i + 1 .
a Analysis (a) in Figure 1 (continuous IV insulin infusion rate recommendations of eProtocol-insulin and Glucosafe are equivalent only when they are equal). Analysis (b) in Figure 1 (continuous IV insulin infusion rate recommendations of eProtocol-insulin and Glucosafe are equivalent when they are within 10% of the lower continuous IV insulin infusion rate recommendation (±10%, b in Figure 2 ).
