INTRODUCTION: The objective was to assess the prognostic importance of various glycaemic control measures on hospital mortality. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective, analytical cohort study that included @entity1 hospitalised in internal medicine departments with a diagnosis related to @entity6 ( @entity6 ), excluding acute decompensations. The clinical endpoint was hospital mortality. We recorded clinical, analytical and glycaemic control-related variables (scheduled @entity2690 administration, plasma glycaemia at admission, HbA1c, mean glycaemia (MG) and in-hospital glycaemic variability and hypoglycaemia). The measurement of hospital mortality predictors was performed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS: A total of 384 @entity1 (50.3% @entity1 ) were included. The mean age was 78.5 (SD, 10.3) years. The @entity6 -related diagnoses were type 2 @entity6 (83.6%) and stress hyperglycaemia (6.8%). Thirty-one (8.1%) @entity1 died while in hospital. In the multivariate analysis, the best model for predicting mortality (R(2)=0.326; P<.0001) consisted, in order of importance, of age (  (2)=8.19; OR=1.094; 95% CI 1.020-1.174; P=.004), Charlson index (  (2)=7.28; OR=1.48; 95% CI 1.11-1.99; P=.007), initial glycaemia (  (2)=6.05; OR=1.007; 95% CI 1.001-1.014; P=.014), HbA1c (  (2)=5.76; OR=0.59; 95% CI 0.33-1; P=.016), glycaemic variability (  (2)=4.41; OR=1.031; 95% CI 1-1.062; P=.036), need for @entity228 treatment (  (2)=4.03; OR=3.1; 95% CI 1-9.64; P=.045), administration of scheduled @entity2690 (  (2)=3.98; OR=0.26; 95% CI 0.066-1; P=.046) and systolic blood pressure (  (2)=2.92; OR=0.985; 95% CI 0.97-1.003; P=.088). CONCLUSION: An increase in initial glycaemia and in-hospital glycaemic variability predict the risk of mortality for hospitalised @entity1 with @entity6 .
