Background:   The use of inpatient location for the depiction of glycemic control is an alternative approach to the traditional analysis of hospital-derived glucometric data. Our aim was to develop a method of spatial representation and to test for corresponding statistical variation in inpatient glucose control data.Methods:   Point-of-care blood glucose data from inpatients with diabetes mellitus were extracted. Calculations included patient-day weighted means (PDWMs) and percentage of patient hospital days with hypoglycemia. Results were overlaid onto hospital floor plans, and room numbers were used as geolocators to generate cross-sectional (2-dimensional) and perspective (3-dimensional) views of the data. Linear mixed and mixed-effects logistic regression models were used to compare the location effect and to assess statistical variation in the data after adjusting for age, sex, and severity of illness.Results:   Visual inspection of cross-sectional and perspective maps demonstrated variation in glucometric outcomes across areas within the hospital. Statistical analysis confirmed significant variation between some hospital wings and floors.Conclusions:   Spatial depiction of glucometric data within the hospital could yield insights into hot spots of poor glycemic control. Future studies on how to operationalize this approach, and whether this method of analysis can drive changes in glycemic management practices, need to be conducted.
