Why the study?
Stress hyperglycemia is linked to adverse outcomes in CABG patients, but the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) had not been studied in this population across different glucose metabolic states.
Does the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) predict short-term and long-term prognosis in patients undergoing CABG across different glucose metabolism states?
Does the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) predict short-term and long-term prognosis in patients undergoing CABG across different glucose metabolism states?
The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) serves as a novel prognostic marker for risk stratification of both perioperative and long-term outcomes in patients undergoing CABG.
SHR associations in CABG warrant prospective validation; leaves open its role for glucose-modulated risk stratification.
WHAT IS CURRENTLY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC?: Stress hyperglycemia is common during the perioperative period in CABG patients and is linked to adverse short- and long-term outcomes. The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is a novel metric that accounts for baseline glycemia to better reflect acute stress-induced hyperglycemia. However, SHR has not been studied in the CABG population. WHAT IS THE KEY RESEARCH QUESTION?: This study is the first to investigate the association between SHR and both short-term and long-term prognosis in patients undergoing CABG, while further exploring its impact across different glucose metabolic states, categorized as normal glucose regulation, prediabetes, and diabetes. WHAT IS NEW?: In CABG patients, SHR shows a U-shaped relationship with perioperative events and a linear positive association with long-term outcomes, both of which are modulated by glucose metabolic status. HOW MIGHT THIS STUDYINFLUENCE CLINICAL PRACTICE?: Findings support the incorporation of SHR for risk stratification and personalized glucose management in CABG patients, ultimately improving both in-hospital and long-term prognosis.
