| Abstract: | Introduction: Hyperglycaemia is frequent among hospital patients and is related to increased complications, poorer outcomes and increased mortality. We examined the relationship between hyperglycaemia on admission with morbidity and mortality. By reviewing hospital admissions during different seasons, we studied seasonal variation in the relationship of hyperglycaemia to mortality in view of the known seasonal variation in blood glucose levels. |
