Association Between Glycosylated Hemoglobin Level and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Diabetic Patients After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

ABSTRACT: Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a critical measure of glycemic control, which may be a reliable predictor of complications after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the association between HbA1c levels and clinical outcomes in diabetic patients after PCI.Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases (dated to December 2015) were screened for relevant studies. Appropriate diabetic cases and controls, assessed using blood HbA1c levels, were extracted, and statistical analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 software. Summary odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to calculate the associations between HbA1c levels and clinical outcomes in diabetic patients after PCI. Ethics review and approval was not necessa
