Table 3:

Continuous IV insulin infusion rate recommendations and difference in recommended IV insulin infusion rate

Blood glucose category at time = t _{i +}₁^a	Count	Continuous IV insulin infusion rate recommendation (U/h) at time = t _i^a		Pairwise continuous IV insulin infusion rate recommendation difference (U/h) at time = t _i^a
Blood glucose category at time = t _{i +}₁^a	Count	eProtocol-insulin median (IQR)	Glucosafe median (IQR)	(Glucosafe - eProtocol-insulin) mean (SD)
Low (<80 mg/dL)	1845	3.4 (3.5)	1.5 (3.2)	−1.8 (2.4)
On target (80–110 mg/dL)	9356	3.3 (3.2)	2.8 (3.6)	−0.8 (2.2)
High (>110 mg/dL)	7783	3.3 (2.8)	5.4 (4.7)	1.7 (2.9)
Total	18 984	3.3 (3.1)	3.5 (4.6)	0.1 (2.8)

Glucosafe minus eProtocol-insulin (U/h) at time = t _i , based on three blood glucose categories at time = t _i_{+ 1} . We report medians (interquartile range) because the continuous IV insulin infusion rate recommendation distributions are skewed. We report the mean (SD) of the pairwise differences because the differences appear normally distributed.
