Abstract

BACKGROUND: Stress-induced hyperglycemia, a pathologically high blood glucose level, is a frequent complication in intensive care units. Blood glucose (BG) level control is crucial but challenging due to patient variability. The Stochastic TARgeted (STAR) protocol is clinically used for blood glucose control, which uses the current and predicted future patient insulin sensitivity (SI) parameter to assess BG outcomes of alternative treatment options.
