Prediabetes and diabetes were associated with higher 3-year risks of target vessel failure compared to normoglycemia (11.2% and 13.7% vs 6.1%; HR 1.89 and 2.30, p<0.001) after DES treatment.

Does prediabetes or diabetes increase the risk of target vessel failure and bleeding in patients treated with new-generation drug-eluting stents compared to normoglycemia?
Prediabetes is associated with a significantly increased risk of 3-year target vessel failure after PCI with new-generation DES, similar to the elevated risk seen in established diabetes.
Effect estimate: HR 1.89 (95% CI 1.38-2.58)
Absolute Event Rate: 11.2% vs 6.1%
p-value: p=<0.001
BACKGROUND: Diabetes is associated with adverse outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents (DES), but for prediabetes this association has not been definitely established. Furthermore, in patients with prediabetes treated with contemporary stents, bleeding data are lacking. We assessed 3-year ischemic and bleeding outcomes following treatment with new-generation DES in patients with prediabetes and diabetes as compared to normoglycemia. METHODS: For this post-hoc analysis, we pooled patient-level data of the BIO-RESORT and BIONYX stent trials which both stratified for diabetes at randomization. Both trials were multicenter studies performed in tertiary cardiac centers. Study participants were patients of whom glycemic state was known based on hemoglobin A1c, fasting plasma glucose, or medically treated diabetes. Three-year follow-up was available in 4212/4330 (97.3 %) patients. The main endpoint was target vessel failure, a composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or target vessel revascularization. RESULTS: Baseline cardiovascular risk profiles were progressively abnormal in patients with normoglycemia, prediabetes, and diabetes. The main endpoint occurred in 54/489 patients with prediabetes (11.2 %) and 197/1488 with diabetes (13.7 %), as compared to 142/2,353 with normoglycemia (6.1 %) (HR: 1.89, 95 %-CI 1.38-2.58, p < 0.001, and HR: 2.30, 95 %-CI 1.85-2.86, p < 0.001, respectively). In patients with prediabetes, cardiac death and target vessel revascularization rates were significantly higher (HR: 2.81, 95 %-CI 1.49-5.30, p = 0.001, and HR: 1.92, 95 %-CI 1.29-2.87, p = 0.001), and in patients with diabetes all individual components of the main endpoint were significantly higher than in patients with normoglycemia (all p ≤ 0.001). Results were consistent after adjustment for confounders. Major bleeding rates were significantly higher in patients with prediabetes and diabetes, as compared to normoglycemia (3.9 % and 4.1 % vs. 2.3 %; HR:1.73, 95 %-CI 1.03-2.92, p = 0.040, and HR:1.78, 95 %-CI 1.23-2.57, p = 0.002). However, after adjustment for confounders, differences were no longer significant. CONCLUSIONS: Not only patients with diabetes but also patients with prediabetes represent a high-risk population. After treatment with new-generation DES, both patient groups had higher risks of ischemic and bleeding events. Differences in major bleeding were mainly attributable to dissimilarities in baseline characteristics. Routine assessment of glycemic state may help to identify patients with prediabetes for intensified management of cardiovascular risk factors.

Ploumen et al. (Sat,) conducted a cohort in Prediabetes and diabetes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (n=4,330). Prediabetes vs. Normoglycemia was evaluated on Target vessel failure (composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or target vessel revascularization) (HR 1.89, 95% CI 1.38-2.58, p=<0.001). Prediabetes and diabetes were associated with higher 3-year risks of target vessel failure compared to normoglycemia (11.2% and 13.7% vs 6.1%; HR 1.89 and 2.30, p<0.001) after DES treatment.
