Prognostic Value of Low Blood Glucose at the Presentation of E Prognostic Value of Low Blood Glucose at the Presentation of E. coli Bacteremia Shamsuddin Alamgir, MD, Natalia B. Volkova, MD, Michael W. Peterson, MD The American Journal of Medicine Volume 119, Issue 11, Pages 952-957 (November 2006) DOI: 10.1016/j.amjmed.2006.03.035 Copyright © 2006 Elsevier Inc.

Figure 1 Mortality distribution in correlation with the source of infection. The most common source of fatal infection was a gastrointestinal source; however, a third of the sources of E. coli were unknown.

Figure 2 Risk of death by blood glucose levels. Patients with blood glucose <70 mg/dL at presentation had a 4.7-fold increased risk of death compared to patients with a blood glucose =70 mg/dL.

Figure 3 Kaplan Meier survival curves comparing survival duration among low blood sugar and normal blood sugar patients who did not survive hospitalization. Median survival time for the low blood sugar group is 22 days while that of the normal blood sugar group is 120 days. (Log rank=42.10 on 1 degree of freedom, P=.0000).

Figure 4 Correlation between mortality and blood glucose level in low blood glucose patients. Blood glucose values ranged from 69 mg/dL to 19 mg/dL among our patients with low blood glucose. The figure compares the proportion that died by blood glucose level. The American Journal of Medicine 2006 119, 952-957DOI: (10.1016/j.amjmed.2006.03.035) Copyright © 2006 Elsevier Inc.
