Predictive Value of Blood Glucose as an Independent Risk factor for Progression/ Mortality in Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES:This study was designed to assess the prognostic significance of hyperglycemia in Acute Coronary Syndromes. BACKGROUND:Most studies that have examined this fact before were performed in patient with Acute Myocardial Infarction.of those with diabetes glucose levels were 198 mg/dl in 11 patients (Group 3) and > 198 mg/dl in 27  patients (Group 4). Compare with Group 1 patients, the odds ratios ( 95% confidence interval) for in hospital progression/mortality among those in Group 2, 3 and 4 were 2.64 (1.32 to 4.52; p = .001), 1.63 (98 to 3.52; p = .035), and 1.88 (1.29 to 3.45; p = .012), respectively. These groups also have greater 2 months progression/mortality.
