Abstract Introduction Critically ill patients may benefit from strict glucose control. An objective measure of hyperglycaemia for assessing glucose control in acutely ill patients should reflect the magnitude and duration of hyperglycaemia should be independent of the number of measurements and should not be falsely lowered by hypoglycaemic values. The time average of glucose values above the normal range meets these requirements. Methods A retrospective single-centre study was performed in a 12-bed surgical intensive care unit. From 1990 through 2001 all patients over 15 years staying at least 4 days were included. Admission type sex age Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score and outcome were recorded. The hyperglycaemic index HGI was defined as the area under the curve above the upper limit of normal glucose level mmol l divided by the total length of stay. HGI admission glucose mean morning glucose mean glucose and .
