| PubMedID- 24199168 | In one study of 6,891 community acquired pneumonia patients, those with mild hyperglycemia upon admission (serum glucose levels, 108 to 198 mg/dl) had a significantly increased risk of death at 90 days (hazard ratio, 1.56), which increased to 2.37 when admission blood glucose levels were ≥252 mg/dl [26]. |
| PubMedID- 23226631 | The increased susceptibility of diabetes subjects to pneumonia is mainly due to hyperglycemia, poor long-term diabetes control, longer duration of diabetes, decreased immunity, impaired lung function, pulmonary micro angiopathy, increased risk of aspiration and coexisting morbidity. |
| PubMedID- 20678212 | We chose to study the effects of hyperglycemia among patients with pneumonia since pneumonia is a common cause for hospitalization in the elderly and the adverse effects of hyperglycemia may potentially contribute to increased complication rates [24]. |
