Replication Data for: Tight blood-glucose control without early parenteral nutrition in the ICU.

This dataset contains the primary study results of the TGC-Fast RCT (Gunst J, Debaveye Y, Güiza F, Dubois J, De Bruyn A, Dauwe D, De Troy E, Casaer MP, De Vlieger G, Haghedooren R, Jacobs B, Meyfroidt G, Ingels C, Muller J, Vlasselaers D, Desmet L, Mebis L, Wouters PJ, Stessel B, Geebelen L, Vandenbrande J, Brands M, Gruyters I, Geerts E, De Pauw I, Vermassen J, Peperstraete H, Hoste E, De Waele JJ, Herck I, Depuydt P, Wilmer A, Hermans G, Benoit DD, Van den Berghe G. NEJM 2023). The purpose of the dataset is to analyze the impact of tight versus liberal blood glucose control in patients who do not receive early parenteral nutrition. The dataset contains the baseline characteristics of the 9230 TGC-Fast patients as well as the primary study results (including the length of time that ICU care was needed as the primary endpoint and 90-day mortality as the safety endpoint). The length of time that ICU care was needed was calculated on the basis of time to discharge alive from the ICU, or the time until readiness for discharge from the ICU, with readiness for discharge defined as the time at which patients were no longer at risk or in need of vital-organ support or the time they were actually discharged, whichever came first. Long-term follow-up is ongoing.
