Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Feasibility 1: The number of eligible patients per week is measured by an audit of the screening and enrolment database at the end of the week Feasibility 2: The number of recruited patients per week is measured by an audit of the screening and enrolment database at the end of the week Feasibility 3: The proportion of recruited patients successfully completing the study is measured at 30 days after surgery from an audit of the study database

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Measured using the glucose monitoring sensor: 1. Time within target glycaemic range during hospitalisation is measured as the number of hours within the blood glucose range of 3.9-10 mmol/l for the time period starting from the end of surgery until discharge from hospital 2. Time above target glycaemic range during hospitalisation is measured as the number of hours above the glucose level >10 mmol/l for the time period starting from the end of surgery until discharge from hospital 3. Time below target glycaemic range during hospitalisation is measured as the number of hours below the glucose level <3.9 mmol/l for the time period starting from the end of surgery until discharge from hospital 4. Time within target glycaemic range during hospitalisation is measured as the number of hours within the blood glucose range of 3.9-10 mmol/l for the time period starting from discharge from hospital until 7 to 14 days after 5. Time below target glycaemic range during hospitalisation is measured as the number of hours within the blood glucose range below 3.9 mmol/l for the time period starting from discharge from hospital until 7 to 14 days after 6. Time above target glycaemic range during hospitalisation is measured as the number of hours within the blood glucose range greater than 10 mmol/l for the time period starting from discharge from hospital until 7 to 14 days after 7. The proportion of patients with one or more major complications including: acute myocardial infarction, stroke, sepsis, reoperation and mortality is measured using the medical records and a follow-up phone call at 30 days after surgery 8. The proportion of patients with one or more infective complications (%) including: sternal wound infection, other surgical wound infection, pneumonia or urinary tract infection is measured using medical records and patient follow-up phone call at 30 days after surgery 9. Hospital length of stay (days) is measured by accessing patient medical records at the end of the ho
