We made an inventory of the prevalence and prognostic value of hyperglycaemia and of the effects of glucose control in different groups of critically ill patients. The prevalence of hyperglycaemia in critically ill patients using stringent criteria approaches 100 . An unambiguous negative correlation between hyperglycaemia and mortality has been described in various groups of critically ill patients. Although the available evidence remains inconsistent there appears to be a favourable effect of glucose regulation. This effect on morbidity and mortality depends on patient characteristics. To be able to compare results of future studies involving glucose regulation better definitions of hyperglycaemia and consequently of normoglycaemia and patient populations are needed. Introduction Acute hyperglycaemia is frequently present in situations of stress both in diabetic and in nondiabetic patients 1-3 . Because it is so common it could be viewed as a physiologic
