The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of the Freestyle Libre H (professional version of the Libre Pro). in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) in the intensive care unit (ICU).
METHODS: 52 adult patients with ARF were selected. The performance of CGM was evaluated using arterial blood glucose (aBG) and point-of-care (POC) glucose as reference values. Numerical accuracy was evaluated by the mean absolute relative difference (MARD), Bland-Altman analysis, and %15/15(the percentage of CGM values within 15 mg/dL or 15% of reference values <100 mg/dL or >100mg/dL, respectively), %20/20 and %30/30; Clinical accuracy was assessed by Clarke error grid analysis.
RESULTS: 519 and 1504 pairs of aBG/CGM and POC/CGM glucose values were analyzed. The MARD values were 13.8% and 14.7%, respectively. The mean deviation of the Bland‒Altman analysis was 0.82 mmol/L and 0.81 mmol/L. %15/15, %20/20 and %30/30 of aBG values were 62.6%, 75.5%, and 92.4%, respectively; %15/15, %20/20 and %30/30 of POC values were 57.1%, 72.9%, and 88.7%, respectively. The Clarke error grid analysis showed that 97.8% and 99.3% of the values located in the (A+B) zone. Additionally, accuracy of CGM is not affected by general patient factors.
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that the accuracy of CGM in patients with ARF is lower than that in most outpatients, and it is not affected by general patient factors. Whether CGM is beneficial to glucose management in ICU needs further evaluation.
