Diabetes association with self-reported health, resource utilization, and prognosis post-myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. We compared health-related quality of life (HRQoL), healthcare resource utilization (HRU), and clinical outcomes of stable post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients with and without DM.

Hypothesis

In post-MI patients, DM is associated with worse HRQoL, increased HRU, and worse clinical outcomes.

Methods

The prospective, observational long-term risk, clinical management, and healthcare Resource utilization of stable coronary artery disease study obtained data from 8968 patients aged ≥50 years 1 to 3 years post-MI (369 centers; 25 countries). Patients with ≥1 of the following risk factors were included: age ≥65 years, history of a second MI >1 year before enrollment, multivessel coro
