Statistical methods / analysis
Data analysis will be performed on an intention-to-treat basis. Summary statistics will be used to describe the clinical data and presented as mean ± SD, median with interquartile range (IQR) or percentages as appropriate. Chi-squared analysis with Fisher’s exact test (when appropriate), and Student’s t-test (Mann Whitney U test for non-normal distributions) will be used to compare data between the active treatment group and the control group with statistical significance declared for probability values of less than 0.05. Analysis of the outcome of excluded patients due to other trials will be in accordance with the CONSORT guidelines.

Summary
Brief summary
Type-2 diabetes (T2DM), a disease of abnormal blood sugar control, is known to contribute to poor immune function, impaired wound healing and increased risk of heart disease, kidney disease and stroke. When patients who have T2DM are admitted to intensive care they receive a range of routine therapies to support their condition. However, the effectiveness of these current therapies is affected by abnormal blood sugar levels and it would be desirable to restore a normal blood state quickly. Over the last few years, evidence has emerged that Dapagliflozin, a blood sugar lowering drug that can be administered as a tablet, may help to return blood sugar levels to normal with minimal or no side effects. This drug has also been shown to slow the progression of heart and kidney related complications of diabetes. This makes treatment with Dapagliflozin potentially desirable in patients with T2DM who are admitted to the intensive care unit. However, the effect of Dapagliflozin in such complex and very sick patients has not yet been studied. For this reason, we are planning to perform a clinical research project, known as a randomised controlled trial. We aim to evaluate whether giving oral Dapagliflozin (10mg daily for up to 28-days while in ICU) compared to placebo (a dummy tablet), normalises blood sugar levels and \ or decreases the need for insulin in 40 patients with T2DM admitted to intensive care. Importantly, should our findings demonstrate safety and potential benefit, it will allow this treatment to be studied in larger groups and, perhaps become a standard of care for the many patients with T2DM who are admitted to the intensive care unit each year in Australia and potentially worldwide.
