To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Patients undergoing elective or semi-urgent Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery at Flinders Medical Centre will be identified through the ANZ Cardiac Surgery Registry. The association of stress hyperglycaemia with adverse outcomes will be determined using absolute glucose levels, and the relative change in glucose as determined by the Stress Hyperglycaemia Ratio.
The Stress Hyperglycaemia Ratio is defined by the time-weighted glucose during ICU stay divided by the estimated average glucose level of the prior 3 months ( as calculated from the HbA1c using the formula developed by Nathan et al. Diab Care 2008;31:1473–14788). The study is retrospective - patients will have undergone routine post-op intensive care. Pathology results used in the analysis will be those already available through routine care.

Comparator / control treatment
Patients at Flinders Medical Centre undergoing elective or semi-urgent Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery over the period 8/2/2010 to 20/12/2016 will be identified through the ANZ Cardiac Surgery Registry. The association of adverse post-op outcomes will be compared using time-weighted mean glucose levels post-operatively during critical care, and the time-weighted mean Stress Hyperglycaemia Ratio. The association of outcomes with time-weighted mean glucose levels will act as the conventional control group.
The study is retrospective - patients will have undergone routine post-op intensive care. Pathology results used in the analysis will be those already available through routine care.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 299071 0
Combined endpoint for adverse outcomes - mortality, infection (deep and superficial sternal wound infection, bacteraemia, pneumonia), respiratory failure (need for ventilator assistance for longer than 48 h), acute kidney injury (increase in creatinine level 40% from baseline), new MI, new CCF, new arrhythmias, stroke,hospital readmissions related to the procedure. The ANZ Cardiac Surgery Registry contains extensive patient demographic data and outcome data, which will be linked to local pathology data.

Statistical methods / analysis
Statistical power: Assuming a Type I error rate of 5%, an outcome event rate of 30%, and the proportion of variance explained by the other covariates in the model is no more than 55%, a sample size of 2500 subjects provides 80% power to detect an independent association between SHR and outcome with an estimated odds ratio of 1.20 per 0.1 SHR increment at the two-tailed 0.05 significance level.
Variables of interest (glucose, SHR, APACHE IIIj, type of surgery, lactate), will be subject to multivariable regression analysis to determine the association with adverse outcomes.
Locally Weighted Scatterplot Smoothing will be used to explore the relationship between patients with (HbA1c>=6.5%) or without (HbA1c<6.5%) pre-existing chronic background hyperglycaemia.
Subgroup analysis of patients with mean glucose <10mmol/L will be made to determine existence of clinically significant stress hyperglycaemia at glucose levels conventionally considered clinically insignificant.
