Author(s): Orit Erman, Tzipora Shochat, Ilan Shimon, Amit Akirov
Aim: Hemoglobin A1c is a known independent risk factor for recurrent hospitalizations. However, the influence of hospitalization on glycemic control has not been reported. Our aim was to assess admission effects on Hemoglobin A1c levels as well as short- and long-term mortality risk following hospitalization, according to Hemoglobin A1c levels prior to the index admission.
Methods: Medical records of ≥ 65 year old patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus, hospitalized between 2011 and 2014 in Rabin Medical Center were manually screened.
