Abstract
Not meeting recommended A1C targets may be associated with postoperative complications in adults, but there are no studies reporting on the relationship between preoperative A1C and postoperative complications in children with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. The objective of this study was to determine whether elevated A1C levels were associated with an increased incidence of postoperative complications in children with diabetes presenting for elective noncardiac surgery or diagnostic procedures. It found no such association, suggesting no need to delay elective surgery in children with diabetes until A1C is optimized.
