Hospitalization costs and clinical outcomes in CABG patients treated with intensive insulin therapy

Background The financial impact of intensive (blood glucose [BG] 100-140mg/dl [5.5-7.8mM] vs. conservative (141-180mg/dl (7.9-10.0mM) glucose control in the ICU in patients, with and without diabetes, undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is not known. Methods This post-hoc cost analysis determined differences in hospitalization costs, resource utilization and perioperative complications in 288 CABG patients with diabetes (n=143) and without diabetes (n=145), randomized to intensive (n=143) and conservative (n=145) glucose control. Results Intensive glucose control resulted in lower BG (131.4±14mg/dl-(7.2±0.8mM) vs. 151.6±17mg/dl (8.4±0.8mM, p<0.001), a nonsignificant reduction in the median length of stay (LOS, 7.9 vs. 8.5days, p=0.17) and in a composite of perioperative complications including wound infection, bacteremia, acute renal and respiratory failure, major cardiovascular events (42% vs 52%, p=0.10) compared to conservative control. Median hospitalization costs were lower in the intensive group ($39,366 vs. $42,141, p=0.040), with a total cost savings of $3654 (95% CI: $1780-$3723), than conservative control. Resource utilization for radiology (p=0.008), laboratory (p=0.014), consultation service (p=0.013), and ICU utilization (p=0.007) were also lower in the intensive group. Compared to patients without perioperative complications, those with complications had longer hospital length of stay (10.7days vs. 6.7days, p<0.001), higher total hospitalization cost ($48,299 vs. $32,675, p<0.001), and higher resource utilization units (2745 vs. 1710, p<0.001). Conclusion Intensive glycemic control [BG 100-140mg/dl (5.5-7.8mM)] in patients undergoing CABG resulted in significant reductions in hospitalization costs and resource utilization compared to patients treated with conservative [BG 141-180mg/dl (7.9-10.0mM)] glucose control..
