Maximum blood glucose levels during hospitalisation to predict mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim in this study was to stratify maximum blood glucose levels to identify the the best cut-off value of glucose levels to predict mortality in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients, regardless of whether they had diabetes.

Design

A retrospective cohort study.

Setting

All clinical data were obtained from the 'Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III' database.

Participants

A total of 3078 patients with ACS were included in the study. We divided the patients into four levels based on their maximum blood glucose levels (glucose_max), then analysed the relationship between each group with mortality.

Results

Among enrolled patients, 2780 and 298 were survivors and non-survivors, respectively. Blood glucose levels and mortality
