We used a survival analysis approach to determine changes in serum glucose, bicarbonate, pH, and anion gap following admission. Using multivariate analysis, we examined associations between patients' demographic and laboratory characteristics with delayed normalization of the anion gap.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 95 patients were analyzed. The median AGNT was 8\u2005h. Delayed AGNT (&amp;gt;8\u2005h) correlated with pH\u2009&amp;lt;\u20097.1 and serum glucose &amp;gt;500\u2005mg\/dL. In multivariate analysis, glucose &amp;gt;500\u2005mg\/dL was associated with an increased risk for delayed AGNT, by 3.41 fold. Each 25\u2005mg\/dL elevation in glucose was associated with a 10% increment in risk for delayed AGNT. Median AGNT preceded median PICU discharge by 15\u2005h (8 vs. 23\u2005h).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>AGNT represents a return to normal glucose-based physiology and an improvement in dehydration.
