This was a prospective, observational cross-sectional study conducted at a tertiary care private hospital in India. The study was designed to comprehensively evaluate the prevalence, management strategies, and clinical outcomes of in-hospital hyperglycemia among adult inpatients. The study also explored the associations of metabolic biomarkers-fetuin-A and fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21) as well as sarcopenic obesity and nutritional factors with clinical outcomes, including length of hospital stay (LOS), complications, and mortality. Institutional Ethics Committee approval was obtained prior to study initiation, and written informed consent was secured from all participants
