Short- and long-term mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes after myocardial infarction- a nationwide registry study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Type 2 diabetes has traditionally been a risk factor for worse prognosis after myocardial infarction (MI), but major advances have been made in its treatment, and the use of secondary preventive measures has intensified. We evaluated the short- and long-term mortality rates of patients with type 2 diabetes after MI and explored the associations between the characteristics of patients with type 2 diabetes and MI mortality.

Methods

Mortality rates among consecutive MI patients with type 2 diabetes using oral antidiabetic medication (n = 13,152; 40% female; mean age 73.6 years) and MI patients without diabetes (n = 77,669) treated in Finland from 2004 to 2018 were retrospectively studied using a combination of national registries (median follow-up 5.7 years).
