Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Effectiveness: The difference in mean percentage time spent within glucose target range on 2nd till 7th day of treatment, between the dapagliflozin group and the control group as measured by subcutaneous continuous glucose monitor. Target range is defined as random glucose 4-10 mmol/l according to ADA guidelines for non-critically ill inpatients (20). Safety: Incidence rate of hypoglycaemic events per patient-day. A hypoglycaemic event is defined according to Whipple*s criteria (i.e. symptoms known or likely to be caused by hypoglycaemia, interstitial glucose 3.9 mmol/l, relief of symptoms when glucose is raised to normal). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Patient satisfaction measured by Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for inpatients (DTSP-IP) (21) specifically directed at glucose lowering treatment. 2. Clinical outcomes: duration of hospitalisation, need for intensification of treatment for AECOPD, change in body weight and blood pressure during investigational treatment. 3. Other parameters of glucose control: - Glucose variability by mean amplitude of glycaemic excursion (MAGE) - Total daily dose of insulin - Mean daily glucose concentration - Mean percentage time spent within glucose target range from start till end of treatment 4. Safety: incidence rate of asymptomatic hypoglycaemia, incidence of genital infections and urinary tract infections, incidence of other adverse events. | — |
