Revascularization outcomes in diabetic patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome with non-ST elevation

Fig. 1. Flow chart summary from eligibility through follow-up. ACS, Acute coronary syndrome; STEMI, ST-elevation myocardial infarction; PCI, Percutaneous coronary intervention; CABG, Coronary artery bypass grafting

Fig. 2. Multivariable logistic regression: Odds ratio for CABG treatment (vs. PCI) with 95% Confidence interval. Patients with multi-vessel disease and those referred from centers with on-site cardiac surgery units, were more likely to be referred to CABG, while those with prior PCI or a previous MI were more likely to have been referred to PCI. Older age, gender and history of congestive heart failure were not associated with any particular revascularization strategy referral pattern. CABG, Coronary artery bypass graft; PCI, Percutaneous coronary intervention; MI, Myocardial infarction; CHF, Congestive heart failure; CAD, Coronary artery disease; OR, Odds ratio; CI, Confidence interval

Fig. 3. Overall 10-year survival curves by revascularization strategy (unmatched population) *. *p-value is for the landmark analysis: 0–2 years; from 2 years and thereafter. CABG, Coronary artery bypass graft; PCI, Percutaneous coronary intervention

Fig. 4. Kaplan Meier curves for survival of the matched pairs. The 10-year mortality hazard was significantly lower in patients who underwent CABG compared to PCI (27% vs. 36%, log-rank p = 0.031). CABG, Coronary artery bypass graft; PCI, Percutaneous coronary intervention
