The American Urology Association has published Dr. Park’s co-authored abstract on immediate Pre-Operative Blood Glucose & Hemoglobin A1C levels and it’s relationship with post-operative infections in diabetic men undergoing primary penile implant placement
This multi-institute study gathered data from April 2003 to May 2018 and involved a retrospective review of diabetic patients
The study concluded that there were no associations between PBG and HbA1C levels on post-operative infection rates. Instead, a higher CCI in diabetic patients predicts post-operative infection
