Perioperative glycemic control and postoperative complications in patients undergoing emergency general surgery: What is the role of Plasma Hemoglobin A1c?
The Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery Feb 02, 2018
Jehan F, et al. - Researchers here determined the impact of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level on outcomes after emergency general surgery (EGS).
