Glycaemic control in the critically ill is once more the focus of attention and we discuss three studies in this area. Not least among these reports is that from the van den Bergh group who provide further data on their intensive insulin protocol in a more heterogeneous group namely medical intensive care unit patients. Finally we discuss another good reason to take statins. Doctors are men who prescribe medicines of which they know little to cure diseases of which they know less in human beings of whom they know nothing Francois-Marie Arouet Voltaire Some nonphysicians may argue that little has changed since the 18th century. However the advent of the clinical trial and multicentre studies may have helped to shed some light on practice. To this end the results of the SOAP Sepsis Occurrence in Acutely ill Patients study 1 published recently in Critical Care Medicine will cause a stir. That prospective study of 3147 patients took place in early May 2002 and joins the ranks of other such epidemiological work on the subject. The study was endorsed by the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine and 24 European countries were involved encompassing almost 200 intensive care units ICUs . Patients were followed for up to 60 days or until discharge or death if this occurred before 60 .
