Visit-to-visit HbA_1c variability is associated with in-stent restenosis in patients with type 2 diabetes after percutaneous coronary intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with type 2 diabetes are under substantially higher risk of in-stent restenosis (ISR) after coronary stent implantation. We sought to investigate whether visit-to-visit HbA_1c variability is a potential predictor of ISR in diabetic patients after stent implantation.

Methods

We consecutively enrolled type 2 diabetic patients who underwent successful elective percutaneous coronary intervention and performed follow-up coronary angiography after around 12 months. The incidence of ISR and its relationship with visit-to-visit HbA_1c variability, expressed as coefficient of variation (CV), standard deviation (SD) and variability independent of the mean (VIM), were studied. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were constructed to anal
