Plasma random glucose levels at hospital admission predicting worse outcomes in STEMI patients undergoing PCI: A case series.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The effects of impaired plasma glucose levels on predicting clinical outcomes and in-hospital events in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is unknown. Therefore, we evaluated random blood glucose at admission and its association with clinical outcomes in STEMI patients treated with PCI.

Methods

Patients with STEMI undergoing PCI were enrolled and were divided into 4 tertiles according to random blood glucose levels. Tertile 1 had levels below 100 mg/dL, tertile 2 had 100-200 mg/dL, tertile 3 had 200-300 mg/dL, and tertile 4 had random blood glucose levels >300 mg/dL. The cumulative rates of in-hospital mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events were calculated.
