Blood sugar and red cell markers for critically ill patients
This study looks at how blood sugar levels (HbA1c) and red blood cell size (RDW) may help predict outcomes in seriously ill patients. It may help doctors understand your condition better during intensive care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are admitted to the critical or intermediate care unit at the hospital
- You have diabetes
- You have anemia (low red blood cells)
- You are 18 years or older

This study looks at two blood test results—HbA1c (average blood sugar) and red blood cell width (RDW)—in people with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar is not well controlled. The goal is to see how these two measurements relate after improving blood sugar management.
This study measures a specific blood protein (carbohydrate-deficient transferrin) when patients arrive at the hospital to see if it can predict how well they'll do in the intensive care unit. Understanding this marker might help doctors better plan care for critically ill patients.
This study looks at how blood sugar levels affect recovery and survival in the ICU for people whose heart failure worsened suddenly. Your blood sugar will be monitored while you receive standard care, to see if it relates to how well you do.
This study looks at how nutrition affects recovery in seriously ill patients with type 2 diabetes. It aims to find better ways to support their health during intensive care.
This trial compares two ways of giving insulin through an IV to adults with diabetes in the intensive care unit to find which works better for controlling blood sugar.
This study looks at how certain blood cell ratios relate to blood sugar control and blood vessel problems in people with type 2 diabetes. It helps doctors understand which patients might be at higher risk for complications.
