Highlights

•
In patients with delirium with HbA1c <6.5% and 6.5−7.9%, the mean blood glucose level during the ICU stay was positively associated with in-hospital mortality.
•
The coefficient of variation of blood glucose and the cumulative hyperglycemic dose during the ICU stay were positively associated with in-hospital mortality only in patients with HbA1c <6.5%.
•
The association between hypoglycemia during the ICU stay and in-hospital mortality in patients with delirium was independent of underlying chronic hyperglycemia levels.
