Clinical characteristics and prognostic implications of diabetes and myocardial injury in patients admitted to the emergency room.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to investigate the clinical features and prognosis of diabetes and myocardial injury in patients admitted to the emergency department.

Methods

We analyzed the clinical data of all consecutive patients admitted to the emergency department during the years 2012 and 2013 with at least 1 cardiac Troponin I (cTnI Ultra Siemens, Advia Centaur) determination, and were classified according to the status of diabetes mellitus (DM) and myocardial injury (MI). Clinical events were evaluated in a 4-year follow-up.

Results

A total of 3622 patients were classified according to the presence of DM (n = 924 (25.55%)) and MI (n = 1049 (28.96%)). The proportion of MI in patients with DM was 40% and 25% in patients without DM. Mortality during follow-up was 10.
