Long-term prognostic effect of serum albumin concentration in diabetic patients with stable coronary artery disease: A multicenter cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetes and insulin resistance alter the physiological state of serum albumin (SA), which is a prognostic marker for stable coronary artery disease (CAD). However, whether the SA concentration is associated with long-term cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in diabetic patients with stable CAD remains unclear.

Methods

In total, 1148 patients were retrospectively identified from a nationwide multicenter cohort study on patients with stable CAD. They were categorized into four groups according to their diabetes mellitus (DM) status and SA concentration (cutoff: 4 g/dL).

Results

The patients' mean age was 62.5 years, and 83.5% were male. Of the total patients, 405 were included in group 1 (SA ≥4/non-DM), 322 in group 2 (SA <4/non-DM), 201 in group 3 (SA ≥4/DM), and
