    The understanding and management of stress hyperglycemia has dramatically changed since 2001. In addition to the development of insulin resistance, stress hyperglycemia is characterised by a poorly inhibitable endogenous production of glucose leading to a severe hyperglycemia. The toxicity of hyperglycemia have been supported by numerous association studies, which reported strong correlations between the magnitude of hyperglycemia and poor outcome. However, tight glycemic control by intensive insulin therapy has not been improved outcomes in most interventional studies and is currently not recommended.SCOPUS: ch.binfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
