Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the incidence of hypoglycemic events in critically ill patients admitted to the ICU at HLA Moncloa Hospital over a four-year period. It will document occurrences of low glucose levels detected by continuous subcutaneous glucose monitoring (CGM) and describe the characteristics of patients receiving CGM sensors. The study seeks to understand the impact of glycemic control on patient outcomes and the actions taken in response to detected hypoglycemic events.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* The study will be conducted in patients admitted to the ICU of HLA Moncloa Hospital over four years. Patients admitted to the ICU, undergoing insulin treatment, and having a CGM sensor.
* Patients who sign the voluntary consent to participate in the study (Annex 2). If the participant is not in full physical or intellectual capacity to provide their signature on the informed consent, the responsible investigator will request such consent from their direct family member or the person legally designated to make decisions on their behalf regarding health matters. This measure is taken to ensure that the participant\'s rights are respected, and the integrity of the consent process is maintained, even in situations where their decision-making capacity may be compromised.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients from whom information on CGM cannot be obtained for technical reasons.
