%X AbstractBACKGROUND:Despite increased awareness of the value of treating inpatient hyperglycemia, little is known about glucose control in U.S. hospitals.METHODS:The Remote Automated Laboratory Systemİ\Plus (RALS£żİ\Plus Medical Automation Systems, Charlottesville, VA) was used to extract inpatient pointİ\ofİ\care bedside glucose (POCİ\BG) tests from 126 hospitals for the period January to December 2007. Patientİ\dayİ\weighted mean POCİ\BG and hypoglycemia/hyperglycemia rates were calculated for intensive care unit (ICU) and nonİ\ICU areas. The relationship of POCİ\BG levels with hospital characteristics was determined.RESULTS:A total of 12,559,305 POCİ\BG measurements were analyzed: 2,935,167 from the ICU and 9,624,138 from the nonİ\ICU. Patientİ\dayİ\weighted mean POCİ\BG was 165 mg/dL for ICU and 166 mg/dL for nonİ\ICU. Hospital hyperglycemia (>180 mg/dL) prevalence was 46.0% for ICU and 31.7% for nonİ\ICU. Hospital hypoglycemia
