The effects of insulin therapy on mortality in diabetic patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A growing number of studies have reported insulin therapy to be associated with a higher incidence of major adverse cardiac events in diabetic patients with coronary artery disease. However, the relationship between insulin use and the clinical outcomes of patients with diabetes who undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been fully clarified.

Methods

A total of 1,069 consecutive patients with diabetes who underwent PCI were enrolled and divided into 2groups: oral hypoglycemic agents (OHA) group (709 patients) and insulin therapy group (360 patients). The primary and secondary endpoints of this study were all-cause death and cardiac death, respectively.

Results

At baseline, the maximum creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), plasma glucose, hemoglob
