Figure 1 Kaplan-Meier curves for in-hospital survival of surgical and medical ICU patients. The effect of intensive insulin treatment on the time from admission to the ICU until death is shown for surgical (upper panel) and medical (lower panel) ICU patients. Left panel: Analysis for the intention-to-treat patient population. Right panel: Subgroup of patients staying in the ICU for ≥ 3 days. Black lines represent the conventional group, and the gray lines the intensive insulin therapy group. Patients discharged alive from the hospital were considered survivors. The indicated p values were calculated by proportional-hazards regression analysis.
