What's new? Heterogeneity of inpatient populations and definitions of hypoglycaemia are a significant challenge in synthesizing evidence from previously published studies.Hypoglycaemia events, including those considered non‐serious, are associated with an increased length of hospital stay and increased risk of inpatient mortality.Inpatient hypoglycaemia is a marker for clinical deterioration and potential increased risk for adverse outcomes.Glucose measurements could aid the identification of those at risk of poor health‐related outcomes.
