Transition From Intravenous to Subcutaneous Insulin Effectiveness and safety of a standardized protocol and predictors of outcome in patients with acute coronary syndrome

OBJECTIVE—The study objectives were 1) to assess the effectiveness and safety of a standardized protocol for the transition to subcutaneous insulin and oral feeding in diabetic or hyperglycemic patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who were receiving intravenous insulin and glucose at the time of the transfer from the intensive cardiac care unit to a general ward and 2) to identify predictors of transition outcome.
