| Popis: | Four hundred and eighty-two patients with spontaneous skin and superficial sepsis and 291 controls of similar age and sex underwent random capillary blood glucose measurements in order to assess whether screening for diabetes in patients presenting with skin sepsis to an Accident & Emergency Department detects a greater number of cases than that present in the background population. All subjects with a concentration >7.8 mmol/l were subsequently followed up with a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test. Forty-two (8.7%) of the 482 skin sepsis patients had a capillary blood glucose >7.8 mmol/l compared to eight (2.7%) of the 291 without sepsis (χ2=9.71, P2=2.87, P |
