Background Diabetes and CHF are common comorbidities in hospitalized patients but the relationship between glycaemic control, glycaemic variability, and mortality in patients with both conditions is unclear.Methods We used administrative data to retrospectively identify patients with a diagnosis of CHF who underwent frequent glucose assessments. TWMG was compared with other measures of glycaemic control and a time-weighted measure of glycaemic variability, the glycaemic lability index. The outcome was hospital mortality.Results A total of 748 patients were included in the final analysis. Time-weighted mean glucose was higher than unadjusted mean glucose (137 +/- 44.7 mg/dL versus 167 +/- 54.9, p < 0.001), due in part to shorter sampling intervals at higher glucose levels.
