Background and purpose: Hyperglycemia leads to some complications in traumatic patients and its control could improve the patient's prognosis. In this study the prevalence of hyperglycemia and its effects were investigated in patients with multiple traumas. Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study the blood glucose levels of 472 multiple trauma patients attending emergency department at Imam Hossein Hospital were measured in June-Oct 2010. Diabetic patients were excluded. SPSS ver.16 was applied to analyze the data. Results: The incidence of posttraumatic hyperglycemia in multiple trauma victims was 20%. There was a significant relationship between posttraumatic hyperglycemia and presence of fracture (FX). However, no significant correlation was observed between hyperglycemia and age, sex, mechanism of trauma, and site of trauma. Moreover, this study found a significant correlation between hyperglycemia and intracranial bleeding. Conclusion: Considering high rate of posttraumatic hyperglycemia and previous findings on controlling and improving the patient’s prognosis, we recommend checking the blood glucose level of trauma patients` on arrival, particularly among those suspected of having FX. However, further studies are needed to investigate this issue in other traumas.
