Abstract

Diabetes mellitus significantly complicates perioperative care, with blood glucose levels playing a crucial role in surgical outcomes. Effective management of perioperative glucose may reduce postoperative complications, yet the extent of this relationship remains under explored in cross‐sectional settings. We conducted a cross‐sectional analysis at a single tertiary care center, assessing 200 diabetic patients who underwent various surgical procedures. The study examined the correlation between perioperative blood glucose control and surgical outcomes, including wound healing, surgical site infections, length of hospital stay and readmission rates. Data were collected retrospectively from patient medical records. The study found that poor perioperative glucose control was associated with an increased rate of surgical site infections (19%, P=0.033) and prolonged hospital stays over five days (30.5%, P=0.015). Additionally, patients with inadequate glucose management had higher readmission rates within 30 days post‐surgery (15.5%, P=0.048). Those with well‐controlled glucose levels experienced significantly better overall surgical outcomes compared to those with poor control (56% vs. 44%, P=0.024). The findings emphasize the importance of stringent perioperative blood glucose monitoring and management in diabetic patients to enhance surgical outcomes. Improved glucose control is associated with reduced postoperative complications and shorter hospital stays, highlighting the need for integrated diabetic care protocols in surgical settings.
