| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Poor glycemic control in hospitalized patients has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Research suggests that analogue bolus insulin may be more effective in achieving blood glucose (BG) control compared with human bolus insulin. OBJECTIVE: This study compares mortality, length of stay (LOS), costs, and BG control in hospitalized patients receiving either analogue or human bolus insulin. METHODS: This retrospective cohort analysis used data from January 1, 2004, to December 31, 2007, within the Health Facts database (Cerner Corporation, Kansas City, Missouri). Nonsurgical adult patients who received exclusively analogue or human bolus insulin during hospitalization were included in the study. Propensity score matching and multivariate regression analyses were used to compare patients treated with analogue versus human bolus insulin. The study outcomes were in-hospital mortality, hospital LOS among survivors (to avoid potentially short hospitalizations among nonsurvivors distorting results), and hospitalized BG control (present vs absent), defined as having a mean BG of 70 to <200 mg/dL during hospitalization. RESULTS: In total, 35,049 participants met the inclusion criteria and 5568 of 7754 patients in the analogue group were matched by their propensity scores to patients in the human bolus group (mean age, 67.1 years; 53% women; 77% white). On propensity score analysis, analogue bolus insulin was associated with lower mortality (relative risk [RR] = 0.52; 95% CI, 0.45-0.61) and shorter LOS (0.668-day reduction; 95% CI, 0.44-0.89) compared with human bolus insulin. However, analogue insulin was associated with only a modest benefit for BG control (RR = 0.88; 95% CI, 0.81-0.95). The multivariate regression analysis produced similar findings. CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort of hospitalized patients, analogue bolus insulin was associated with lower mortality, shorter LOS, and modestly better BG control compared with patients treated with human bolus insulin. These results highlight the need for a randomized controlled clinical trial comparing outcomes by bolus insulin type in the hospital setting to determine a true mortality benefit. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
