Admission hyperglycemia is associated with reperfusion failure in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Admission hyperglycemia (AH) is a common finding in patients with acute coronary syndrome and has been reported to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Prior studies suggest that AH could be associated with reperfusion failure. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore an association between AH and risk of reperfusion failure in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI).

Methods

Two investigators searched the databases of MEDLINE and EMBASE from inception to February 2021. Study eligibility was independently determined by two investigators and needed to demonstrate association of AH and rate of reperfusion failure, or sufficient raw data to calculate th
