Notes: All data are adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, Charlson’s index and type of surgery. Statistically significant results are presented in bold characters. *CV complications include acute myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, left bundle branch block, transient ischemic cerebral attack, stroke. °Other events include pulmonary, neurological and hepatic complications.
Abbreviations: SH, Stress hyperglycemia; CV, cardiovascular; ICU, intensive care unit; na, data not calculated because of lack of events.
