Impact of Tight blood Glucose Control within normal fasting ranges with insulin titration prescribed by the Leuven algorithm in adult critically ill patients.

Hyperglycemia in critically ill patients (stress hyperglycemia)

The duration of ICU dependency (defined as the crude number of days with need for vital organ support and as the time to live discharge from ICU to account for death as competing risk)
