Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Mean Time in range (TIR) up to the second postoperative day as measured by CGM

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. rate of infectious complications during hospitalization 2. rate of infectious complications within 30 days after surgery 3. rate of all complications during hospitalization 4. rate of adverse events associated with enteral nutrition 5. Mean TAR during the entire measurement period (postoperative days 1-8) as measured by CGM 6. TAR for each day up to the 8th postoperative day measured by CGM 7. Mean AUC during the entire measurement period (postoperative days 1-8) measured by CGM 8. AUC for each day up to postoperative day 8 measured by CGM 9. Mean value of TIR during the entire measurement period (postoperative days 1-8) measured by CGM 10. TIR for each day up to postoperative day 8 as measured by CGM 11. Percentage change in nutritional indices during the hospitalization period compared to the time of admission (albumin level, prealbumin level, and total protein level of serum) 12. Number of cases of glycemic control intervention for hyperglycemia criteria (>=201 mg/dL) 13. Number of cases of enteral feedings changed on postoperative day 3 or later 14. Number of cases requiring enteral nutritional supplements reduction by 50% or more on postoperative day 3 or later compared to the previous day 15. Mean TAR during the entire measurement period (postoperative days 1-8) as measured by CGM and percentage of infectious complications during hospitalization 16. Mean TAR during the entire measurement period (postoperative days 1-8) as measured by CGM and the percentage of infectious complications within 30 days postoperatively 17. Mean AUC during the entire measurement period (postoperative days 1-8) measured by CGM and percentage of infectious complications during hospitalization 18. Mean AUC during the entire measurement period (postoperative days 1-8) measured by CGM and percentage of infectious complications within 30 days after surgery 19. Mean TIR during the entire measurement period (postoperative days 1-8) measured by CGM and percentage of infectious complicatio
