Effects of Continuous Versus Intermittent Glucose Monitoring in Intensive Care Unit Patients: A Systematic Review With Meta‐Analysis

This meta-analysis reports the available literature on continuous versus intermittent monitoring of blood glucose in critically ill patients. The authors found that the available evidence was very uncertain, although continuous monitoring might improve outcomes. It is likely that this is partially due to lack of standardization of measurements and different management strategies. It is possible that the question is best answered with a larger trial with a well-defined treatment protocol.
