Addressing disparities in the long-term mortality risk in individuals with non-ST segment myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) by diabetes mellitus status: a nationwide cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/hypothesis

The aim of this study was to investigate how diabetes mellitus affects longer term outcomes in individuals presenting to hospital with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).

Methods

We analysed data from 456,376 adults hospitalised between January 2005 and March 2019 with NSTEMI from the UK Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project (MINAP) registry, linked with Office for National Statistics death reporting. We compared outcomes and quality of care by diabetes status.

Results

Individuals with diabetes were older (median age 74 vs 73 years), were more often of Asian ethnicity (13% vs 4%) and underwent revascularisation (percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass graft surgery) (38% vs 40%) less frequently than those
