Wider perioperative glycemic fluctuations increase risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation and ICU length of stay.

Increased magnitudes of acute perioperative glycemic fluctuations are associated with a significantly increased risk of POAF and length of ICU stay; and should therefore be minimised but balanced against the risks of hypoglycemia so as to avoid POAF and optimise patient outcomes.
